Makin' Promises

I was standing on a corner watching all the people walk by\nWhen this woman child approached me her hemline was reaching for the sky\nShe knew what she was doing just as well as me\nShe knew that I was tempted by her physicality\nBut I kept my wits about me I was willing to look but not believe\n'Cause her body made a promise that I knew her heart could not keep\nAs she paraded by me a limousine pulled right up to the curb\nA well dressed older man just stepped out and kissed her lips without a word\nHe wrapped his arms around her and they made some secret plans\nBut I was close enough to see the ring upon his hand\nAnd that temptress waved goodbye just like a child as he drove down the street\nAnd I knew his body had made a promise that his heart could not keep\nA part of me just wanted to applaud their passion play\nBut I closed my eyes and said a prayer then I walked away, I walked away\nI came home to this little old brick house you met me at the door\nYou told me that you loved me and I understood it better than before\nI took you in my arms and thanked the good Lord up above\nFor showing me the difference between lust and love\nAnd tonight when we’re lying in our bed before we go to sleep\nOur bodies will make promises that our hearts can keep\nYes, our bodies will make promises that our hearts will keep
