Promise Me The World
Tattered sky leaves on stone
Candle at her feet
And a heart of clay
When the flesh is weak
She became a pawn to sorrow
A child without a name
For another love
For another fool to blame
So, they give in to her "eyes of love"
Fingers on her skin they give her anything she wants
But she says, "Promise me the world
Or give me nothing at all
Promise me the world
Or give me nothing at all"
Years before she loved a young man
Who betrayed her with a kiss
He took her down
Where lovers drown
Now all she wants is everything
Everything you got
You think it's love
But it's not
Stand tall like the rest who loved her
And paid for tenderness, she'll hurt you to survive
But she says, "Promise me the world
Or give me nothing at all
Promise me the world
Or give me nothing at all"
Stand tall like the rest who loved her
And paid for tenderness, she'll hurt you to survive
"Promise me the world
Or give me nothing at all
Promise me the world
Or give me nothing at all"
A house in Rome
Servants at her back and call
A trail of roses
Everywhere she walks
She'd sell her soul
Just to feel the warmth of fortune
Words fall silent
But fat wallets talk
Satin sheets
Drinks at Harry's bar in Venice
French riviera
The Hampton's in July
Jewels for her fingers
Fashion from Milan
Black limousines
For when she says goodbye
