Lee Fields The Expressions A Promise Is A Promise Lyrics

[Chorus]
A promise is a promise, baby
This I'm sure
Can't turn your back on me
Then walk through the door
I ain't your pet, baby
Never was
What we had was never love

[Verse]
Oooh
I was so in love with you, girl
And, oh, you were such a part of my world
I built my life around trusting your word
Only to find out you lied to me, girl
Oooh
Why did you lie to me?
Now I gotta say goodbye to you, girl
I wish you well
And I hope you find true love
But I want you to know
Between us, there's no bad blood
Oooh
I still love you, baby

[Chorus]
A promise is a promise, baby
This I'm sure
Can't turn your back on me
Then walk through the door
I ain't your pet, baby
Never was
What we had was never love

[Bridge]
And oh yeah
You never did appreciate me

[Outro]
Oooh
My, my, my, my, my, my
Oh, oh
Yeah
Oh, oooh
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Whoo!
