I heard you swear your love this morning

And it caught me almost wanting to believe

The three little words that serve as warning

And say it's just a promise you can't keep



A statement that's been so used I felt compelled to tell you

But knew there wasn't much to say

I could have threatened leavin' or listed hopeless reasons

If I didn't have this need to stay

Three little words should be my warning

Cause I know that's just a promise you can't keep

[ steel - fiddle ]

A statement that's been so used...

I heard you swear your love this morning
