Can't Promise Nothin'

Well I know darlin', I was on your mind
You know darlin', you were not on mine
Well I try to relent to you and I try to see
But I know whatever I say you won’t believe me
Well you know how much I want to
But I can’t promise nothin' to you
Well you’re a right doll, darlin' you know I won’t like
You know I like her, babe, you can see it in my eyes
But the college hound tells me I’m too sick to play
He pumps sense into me but he just won’t stay
Well you know how much I want to
But I can’t promise nothin' to you
Well darlin', all these promises are making me ill
You can’t get satisfied, you can’t get your fill
I’m spinnin' 'round in all directions, I’m goin' blind
It ain’t me, baby, I’m not your kind
(Alright)
Now the confessor’s gone and told all my lies
Sister Marie’s left me, now she might televise
Everything that’s gone my way I can’t ignore
I don’t wanna deal with this anymore
Well you know how much I want to
But I can’t promise nothin' to you
Well three days later, I’m still stuck inside
Engineer’s got secrets that he won’t confide
And he’s making me such promises and he thinks my life is cheap
Everybody’s got their own agendas to keep
Well you know how much I want to
But I can’t promise nothin' to you
