Written:Beth Neilsen Chapman/Verlon Thompson You make me promises that you don't keep Tears are expensive, honey, words are cheap You tell me one thing then do something else And even though I know that all too well I keep forgiving I keep forgetting I keep expecting you to change Chorus: You say you will You say you will You say you will But you never do Love doesn't come with any guarantee It's give and take a little, that's the key So I give you every little thing you choose And you give me back a stack of I.O.U.'s There seems to be a pattern here How can I tell if you're sincere Repeat Chorus:
