Tim Hardin was just 24 years old when he penned “Don’t Make Promises.” He would go on to become an American folk music legend, writing classics like “If I Were a Carpenter” and “Reason to Believe.” Sadly, he died of a heroin overdose at the tender age of 39.
Three Dog Night’s recording of this so...
Seems the songs we're singing
All about tomorrow
Tunes of promises that you can't keep
Every moment bringing
Love I can only borrow
Telling me lies in your sleep
Do you think I'm not aware
Of what you're saying
Or why you're saying it?
Is it hard to keep me where
You want me staying? No
Don't go on betraying
We had a chance to find it
The time was now or never
Promise the things that I need
Left the things behind it
Threw our chance away forever
Telling your lies in your sleep
Do you think I'm not aware
Of what you're saying
Or why you're saying it?
Is it hard to keep me where
You want me staying? No, no
Don't go on betraying
Don't make promises you can't keep
Don't make promises you can't keep
Don't make promises you can't keep
Tired of hearing 'em
Tired of hearing 'em
Don’t Make Promises was written by Tim Hardin.
