Cheap perfume and painted faces Fallin' angels fill the places Where I go when my troubles pull me down All the lies I know they'll tell me For awhile I'll be the biggest man in town
Back at home in bed she's cryin' For her love for me is dyin' But she'll pray I make it safely through the night When the mornin' sun starts showin' To her bedside I'll be goin' And she'll hold me while I face the mornin' light
And I'll make promises Promises to change I'll make her promises Swear I'll rearrange And I'll start givin' All the love she needs If only she will stay
Once again she'll reassure me And I believe her love will cure me And I'll fall aleep with tears on my face And I know she's just a woman And her love can't last forever And someday soon I know she'll leave without a trace
For broken promises Will tear her dreams apart Just token promises Will someday break her heart And for the last time She'll hold me when I cry And while I'm sleepin' She'll quietly say goodbye
