Knowing When to Leave / Promises, Promises

[Part I: Knowing When to Leave]

[Intro]
Promises, their kind of promises
Can just destroy your life
Promises, their kind of promises
Take all the joy from life

[Verse 1]
Go while the going is good
Knowing when to leave
May be the smartest thing that anyone can learn
Go!
I'm afraid my heart
Isn't very smart

[Verse 2]
Fly while you still have your wings
Knowing when to leave
Won't ever let you reach the point of no return
Fly!
Foolish as it seems
I still have my dreams

[Chorus]
So I keep hoping
Day after day as I wait for the man I need
Night after night
As I wish for a love that can be
Though I know that
No one can tell
Where their wishes and hopes will lead
Somehow I feel
There is happiness just waiting there for me
When someone walks in your life
You'd just better be sure he's right
'Cause if he's wrong
There are heartaches and tears you must pay
Keep both of your
Eyes on the door and never let it get out of sight
Just be prepared
When the time is come for you to run away

[Outro]
Sail when the wind starts to blow
But like a fool I don't know
When to leave

[Part II: Promises, Promises]

[Verse 1]
I don't know how I got the nerve to walk out
If I shout, remember
I feel free
Now I can look at myself and be proud
I'm laughing out loud

[Verse 2]
Oh, promises, promises
This is where those promises, promises end
I won't pretend that what was wrong can be right
Every night I'll sleep now
No more lies
Things that I promised myself fell apart
But I found my heart

[Outro]
Oh, promises, their kind of promises
Can just destroy your life
Oh, promises, their kind of promises
Take all the joy from life
Oh, promises, promises, my kind of promises
Can lead to joy and hope and love
Yes, love!
