Lyrics

Nobody Promises Love Anymore

Hand on the jukebox
Looking for a number that says what she means
Lookin’ for a song with a feelin’
A song that says everything
She’s been both angel and devil
She’s played it down the middle
But she’s been playin’ the fool all along
So she sends out a signal, hopin’ someone will hear
The message of the words in her song.

Nobody promises love anymore
Nobody knows what it’s for, the world’s gone crazy
For the good life gettin’ lazy
And won’t spend the time anymore

Nobody promises love anymore, nobody cares anymore
The world’s gone crazy
She’s gonna hold out, but she’s got her doubts
Nobody promises love anymore.

He wasn’t born into money
He wasn’t born into much of anything
But he was raised with a good heart
These days that’s a good start
He’s worked his way up on the world.

But through it all he’s been lonely
He dreams, but if only
Then he hears a song all too clear.
And he looks to the jukebox
Sees the girl standin’ there
And the message to the words in her song

Nobody promises love anymore
Nobody knows what it’s for, the world’s gone crazy
For the good life gettin’ lazy
And won’t spend the time anymore

Nobody promises love anymore, nobody cares anymore
The world’s gone crazy
She’s gonna hold out, but she’s got her doubts
Nobody promises love anymore.

LEAD

Nobody promises love anymore
Nobody knows what it’s for, the world’s gone crazy
For the good life gettin’ lazy
And won’t spend the time anymore

Nobody promises love anymore, nobody cares anymore
The world’s gone crazy
She’s gonna hold out, but she’s got her doubts
Nobody promises love anymore.
