Lyrics

Cheap perfume and painted faces
Fallen angels fill the places
Where I go when my troubles pull me down
And all the lies, I know they'll tell me
And the time that they will sell 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 morning sun starts showing
To her bedside I'll be going
And she'll hold me while I face the morning light
And I'll make promises
(Ooh-ooh)
Promises to change
I'll make her promises
Swear I'll rearrange
And I'll start giving
(Ooh-ooh)
All the love she needs if only she will stay
Once again, she'll reassure me
And I believe her love will cure me
And I'll fall asleep with tears on my face
And I know, she's just a woman
And her love can't last forever
And some day soon
I know she'll leave without a trace
For broken promises
(Ooh-ooh)
Will tear her dreams apart
Just token promises
Will someday break her heart
And for the last time
(Ooh-ooh)
She'll hold me when I cry, and while I'm sleeping
She'll quietly say goodbye
