You make me promises that you don't keep Tears are expensive, honey, words are cheap You tell me one thing then do something else And even though I know that all too well I keep forgiving I keep forgetting I keep expecting you to change You say you will You say you will You say you will But you never do Love doesn't come with any guarantee It's give and take a little, that's the key So I give you every little thing you choose An you give me back a stack of I.O.U.'s There seems to be a pattern here How can I tell if you're sincere You say you will You say you will You say you will But you never do You say you will You say you will You say you will But you never do
