YOU BROKE YOUR PROMISE
(Eddie Pola / Irving Taylor / George Wyle / Paula Watson
)

as recorded by Kay Starr
with Frank DeVol & his Orchestra
1949


You broke your promise, oh yes,
You broke your promise,
And now I'm all alone and blue!
You said you loved me, oh yes,
You said you loved me,
And not a word you said was true!

You promised you'd be mine for ever,
And we would never never ever part!
But you broke your promise, oh yes,
You broke your promise,
And that is how you broke my heart!

You swore you'd be my true blue steady, 
But now you've gone and faded already!
You swore you'd be my lovin' papa,
But the lie you told was a great big whopper!

You broke your promise,
You broke your promise,
Now I'm all alone and so blue!
You said you loved me,
Yeah, but not a word you said was to come true!

You promised you'd be mine for ever,
And we would never never ever part!
But you know that you have broken your promise, oh yes,
You broke your promise,
And that is how you broke my heart!
I find your words not worth a dime,
'Cause you've gone and done it every time!
You broke my heart,
You broke it right in two!
