"Pretty Promises," lyrics

Kali Uchis & Mariah The Scientist Lyrics

"Pretty Promises,"

I would never ever do a thing like that
Pretty promises I won't take back
'Cause I would never ever do a thing like that
Uh-uh
Uh-uh
I would never ever do a thing like that
If I gave my word, I can't go back
'Cause I would never ever do a thing like that
Uh-uh
Uh-uh

Baby, so who are you really?
I'm rich and I'm loyal
They don't know where to find me
I know you've been hurt
You say I look like a heartbreak
But pretty promises mean a whole lot to me
Promises I'll never break

I would never ever do a thing like that
Pretty promises I won't take back
'Cause I would never ever do a thing like that
Uh-uh
Uh-uh
I would never ever do a thing like that
If I gave my word, I can't go back
'Cause I would never ever do a thing like that
Uh-uh
Uh-uh

Up in the sky, I found a star to wish on
So I prayed angels would send someone here for me to kiss on
To kiss on
Promises you made up tomorrow, and so on
Tell me how your prayer answered
Left me with a lot to wonder (I wonder if)

If he can break the curse or will he be hell on earth? (I wonder if)
If he can keep his word, that's all a girl deserves (I wonder if)
He's willing to confide or keep it deep inside
'Cause still, I always want your love, long as it ain't a lie

I know it isn't perfect
But I know that nothing on earth is
Baby, tell me is it worth it?
How to love you when it's hurtin'

My heart is still achin'
It's more than I can take
But tell me what more I could say than
Promises I'll never break

I would never ever do a thing like that
Pretty promises I won't take back
'Cause I would never ever do a thing like that
Uh-uh
Uh-uh
I would never ever do a thing like that
If I gave my word, I can't go back
'Cause I would never ever do a thing like that
Uh-uh
Uh-uh

Pretty promises, promises
Will you promise me, promise me?
We won't break any promises
Baby, promise me
