I heard you swear your love this morning
And it caught me almost wanting to believe
The three little words that serve as warning
And say it's just a promise you can't keep
A statement thats been so used
I felt compelled to tell you
But knew there wasn't much to say
I could have threatened leavin'
Or listed hopeless reasons
If i didn't have the need to stay
Three little words should have been my warning
'Cause i know thats just a promise you can't keep
And it caught me almost wanting to believe
The three little words that serve as warning
And say it's just a promise you can't keep
A statement thats been so used
I felt compelled to tell you
But knew there wasn't much to say

Or listed hopeless reasons
If i didn't have the need to stay
Three little words should have been my warning
