Promises Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Sarroth 

Cover art for Promises lyrics by Def Leppard

I agree with cubbyblues. I am conflicted as to whether the speaker is lying to the girl or saying that everything he said by accident was true, he just hadn't meant to say it.

Maybe it's just me really preferring the second one, but after listening again I think it is more a good old-fashioned love song. The vocals just tell me that he's being truthful. And towards the end he says it differently, such as "I wont say a single thing, darling, that you can't believe. You've gotta believe it babe!" And he says it with different vocal inflection that suggests that he's telling the truth.

But, like I said, I prefer it to be that way, because then its a sweet love song you could sing to your girlfriend : )
