Cheap perfume and painted faces, __
fallen angles fill the places
Where I go when my troubles pull me down
All the lies I know they'll tell me, __
For a while I'll be the biggest man in town
Back at home in bed she's crying, __
for her love for me is dying
But she'll pray I make it safely through the night
When the mornin' sun starts showing, ___
to her bedside I'll be going
* And I'll make promises ___
promises to change
I'll make her promises swear I'll rearrange
And I'll start giving all the love she needs
Once again she'll reasure me and
I believe her love will cure me
And I'll fall asleep with tears on my face
Lord I know she's just a woman
And someday soon I know she'll
leave without a trace
For broken' promises ___
will tear her dreams apart
Just token promises will someday break her heart
And for the last time she'll hold me when I cry
and while I'm sleeping
