Don't go making all these promises you know
you cannot keep
There's a time to play a king and a time to be the
thief
'Cause if you're making all these promises you
know you cannot keep
You know time will be the thief and your fallen
king will end up alone
So let you're body move a little bit closer
Silent like the sound proceeding a cyclone
Don't you know that powerful thinking
Can be a force you don't want to relinquish?
Well don't you know that,
They say that hanging on will justify the wait?
But patience and elated wisdom don't share a
common phrase
Don't go making all these
promises you know you cannot keep
There's a time to play a king
and a time to be a thief
'Cause if you're making all these promises you
know you cannot keep
You know time will be the thief and your fallen
king will end up alone
Well, I'm only hanging on for what goes down
I'm floating high and my feet
don't touch the ground
I'd take advantage but I can't see through
this charade
So don't you, don't go make it harder than hell
'Cause when it comes down to the making
You better be damned sure you can take it
Hey baby
Well dont go
making all these promises you know you cannot keep
There's a time to play a king
and a time to be a thief
'Cause if your making all these
promises you know you cannot keep
You know time will be the thief
and your fallen king will end up alone
Time will be the thief
and your fallen king will end up...
A fool, a fool, a lonely sorry fool
Oh, baby, 'cause I told you baby
