Promises and Lies lyrics

Wise men say - Only fools rush in,

But I can't help falling in love with you.

Repeat

Shall I stay - Would it be a sin,

If I can't help falling in love with you.

Like a river flows

Surely to the sea

Darling so it goes

Some things are meant to be

Take my hand - Take my whole life too,

For I can't help falling in love with you.

Wise men say, only fools rush in.

But I can't help falling in love with you

Shall I stay? Would it be a sin?

I can't help falling in love with you

As the river flows gently to the sea

Darling so we go, some things were meant to be

Take my hand take my whole heart too

'Cause i can't help falling in love with you

As the river flows gently to the sea

Now and then
I must admit I wonder if I had the chance
To vanquish foes with nothing more than just a glance
How perfect every single day would be
To never wait in driving rain
For the bus that never came
Not to be the one to blame
For anybody else's misery
Now and then
I contemplate a different way around this day
With nothing more than simple words, so I can say

Moon and stars sit way up high
Earth and trees beneath them lie
The wind blows fragrant lullaby
To cool the night for you and I
On the wing the birds fly free
Leviathan tames angry sea
The flower waits for honeybee
The sunrise wakes new life in me.
And every hour of every day I'm learning more
The more I learn, the less I know about before
The less I know, the more I want to look around

You tell me there's no darkness
While the sun shines down on you
And just because your life is peaceful
There's no fighting left to do
For every cup that runneth over
Many more are filled with pain
You talk to me of sunshine
When it's pouring down with rain
Just because you can't see it
Doesn't mean it isn't there
Just because it can't touch you
Doesn't mean you shouldn't care

Did I ever say, how I feel about you
A thing I never found that easy to do
The things that you do, don't need to be heard
You know your actions, baby, speak louder than words
I've got the bottle, bring me your cup
Pop the cork, and try a sup
And when you're empty, I'll fill you up
We'll drink it down till the sun comes up
I'm heading home, like a steaming train

All the sorrow and the pain
All the sacrifice in vain
I was much too blind to see
You make a loser out of me
You put me down for oh so long
While you sang your serpent's song
The rest is history
You can do no more to me
I've been down so low
Had nowhere left to go
I could see it in your eyes
All your promises were lies
Promises and lies
Your cut was quick and deep

A woman came and said to me
She'd seen a lady sell her baby
For ten or twenty dollars maybe
And everybody thinks she's crazy
They're too blind to see
She never failed to call attention
To the things we never mention
Real horror, daily, courtesy of your TV
C'est La Vie
[Chorus:]
A woman came and said to me
Now listen very carefully
There's brother killing brother
People living on their knees

Please don't say sorry
Presuming a respect for what you say
If in your heart you mean it
Then you'll understand me feeling
You must prove it; sign the cheque without delay
Most humbly yours, four hundred years back pay
[Chorus:]
I'm not begging charity
Don't confuse the things I say
Give me what belongs to me
Give me what belongs to me
Just don't say sorry
As if that can excuse this tyranny

Wise men say - Only fools rush in,
But I can't help falling in love with you.
[Repeat]
Shall I stay - Would it be a sin,
If I can't help falling in love with you.
Like a river flows
Surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand - Take my whole life too,
For I can't help falling in love with you.

It's a long long way from here
Don't you worry yourself my dear
It's a long long way from here
Drought and famine in TV land
Read the sunday papers credit card ina your hand
Sing your song of freedom just to ease your troubled mind
And save your guilty pennies for the ones you leave behind
The burden that you carry from the cradle to the grave

Are you wondering why
No one talks any more
And all you hear
Is the cry for war
Are you wondering if
There are people who
Hurt inside the same as you
There are grey-faced men always telling me
Things ain't like they used to be
You kids have got no self respect
Wake up old man to your neglect
It's dog eat dog
It's hand to mouth
It's east and west
It's north and south

I said we friendship come first, the band did come second
And that's why I decided to put it in a song
So listen crowd of people and throw up unnu hands
If you love dem their style and you love dem pattern
Reggae music can't refuse it
So give us what we want and mek we gwan
I said yes crowd of people we come back again
I man Thriller E. And all me best best friends
