Oh, so long baby! See you around, oh, see you around! Promise is a comfort to a fool. Promise is a comfort to a fool. I remember what my mama used to say, She said: "Son don't go astray." Don't let her pretty face get to your head, 'Cause she'll rob you and leave town, ooh. Promise is a comfort to a fool. Promise is a comfort to a fool. She'll promise you diamonds and gold rings, True she like how you do your thing. She'll treat you like a puppet on a string, Pull in the string and let swing, ooh. Promise is a comfort to a fool. Promise is a comfort to a fool. Ooh, well, well! Oh.. oh, well. Girl go your way and leave me alone, Get someone you can push around. I ain't gonna be nobody's clown, So you better get out of town. 'Cause, promise is a comfort to a fool. I ain't gonna be no daddy's fool Promise is a comfort to a fool, oh. Promise is a comfort to.. well.
