Promises

by Eric Clapton, 1978

v.1
GI don't care if you never come home
CI don't mind if you just
Keep on Growin' away on a distant sea
Cause I Ddon't love you and you don't love Gme

You cause a commotion when you come to town
You give them a smile and they melt
Having lovers and friends is all good and fine
But I don't like yours and you don't like mine
La Cla Bmlala lala la Dla... [2t]

v.2
I don't care what you do at night, oh
I don't care how you get your delights
We'll leave it alone, we'll just let it be
I don't love you and you don't love me

Chorus:
CI got a problem, Gcan you relate?
CI got a woman, call it love-Ghate
CWe made a vow, we'd Galways be friends
AmHow could we Cknow that promises Gend
La Cla Bmlala lala la Dla... [2t]

v.2
I tried to love you for year upon years
But you refuse to take me for real
It's time you saw what I want you to see
That I'd still love you if you'd just love me

Rpt. Ch.
