A Sack of Empty Promises

Ooh Baby can you tell me
Why love is so much burning
Ooh Baby can you tell me
Why love is so much hurting?
A sack of empty promises
Is not what I am deserving

Baby when I met you once
You asked me for my love
You told me of your loneliness
And I gave you all my heart
Feeling so much pity
I filled yours with tenderness

But after some time I noticed
My own heart had shrunk so much
Because you didn't make an effort
To care with a loving touch

Ooh Baby when I met you twice
You wanted all my money
You told me of your poverty
And I felt generosity
Feeling so much pity
I gave you all my savings

But after some time I noticed
My money had slipped away
And I was left alone with nothing
And friendless I was left to pay

Baby when I met you again
You asked me to sing for you
You told me of your senseless life
And I sang the blues for you
Feeling so much pity
I sang with heart and soul

But after some time I noticed
My voice had been passing away
Because no one had been listening
To understand what I had to say

Ooh Baby can you tell me
Why love is so much burning
Ooh Baby can you tell me
Why love is so much hurting?
A sack of empty promises
Is not what I am deserving

Ooh Baby can you tell me
Why love is so disappointing
Ooh Baby can you tell me
Why love is so destroying?
A sack of empty promises
Is not what I am deserving
