Promises Lyrics

Lyric discussion by smtown 

Cover art for Promises lyrics by Eric Clapton

The first time I heard this song was on a radio station, and it just sucked me right in. I didn't recognize Eric Clapton's voice and was lucky enough to find the name of the song and artist by looking on the radio's online website. It has a powerful message and has a unique beat to it. The la la la... part is cool, too. It's definitely about a rocky relationship, with 2 people who each have their own habits that are tearing the relationship apart ("I got a problem, can you relate?").
