Well, don't you know I need a little indulgence?
We'll listen to the hunter becoming hunted
Every day there's a million advances
But don't be too forceful; you'll ruin your chances
well don't you know that time is a broken glass
that splinters against the wall
but the picture is coming back now baby
and i want to take it all
Chorus:
don't go making all these promises you know you cannot keep
there's a time to play a king and a time to be a thief
cause if your making all these promises you know you cannot keep
you know time will be the thief and your fallen king will end up alone
So let your body move a little bit closer (Ooh, ah, ah, ah)
Silent like the sound proceeding a cyclone
Don't you know that powerful thinking (Ooh, ah, ah, ah)
Can be a force you don't wanna relinquish?
Well, don't you know that
They say that hanging on will justify the wait?
But patience and elated wisdom don't share a common phrase
chorus
well i'm only hanging on for what goes down baby
i'm floating high and my feet don't touch the ground
i'd take advantage but i can't see through this charade
so don't you don't you go make it harder than hell
don't go making promises don't go making promises
when it comes down to the making
you better be damned sure you can take it hey baby
Don't go making promises, don't go making promises
Ooh-ooh
Ooh, oh baby
Don't you know, baby? Yeah
Chorus:
Don't go making all these promises you know you cannot keep
There's a time to play the king and a time to be a thief
'Cause if you're making all these promises you know you cannot keep
You know time will be the thief and your fallen king will end up alone
Don't go making all these promises you know you cannot keep
There's a time to play the king and a time to be a thief
'Cause if you're making all these promises you know you cannot keep
You know time will be the thief and your fallen king
will end up alone, alone, alone
A fool, a fool, a lonely sorry fool
Oh baby, 'cause I told you, baby
