He took everything,
Hocked your little diamond ring,
Took that shiny little stone,
Left you standing all alone,
See what promises can bring.
Grew up in a northern town,
Everything was grey and brown,
So he swept you off your feet,
Got you rolling in the sheets,
And your belly full and round.
In the lightning and the thunder,
You refuse to take cover,
You wanna just walk in the rain.
And you're carrying his baby,
But you don't give a shit what they say,
Cause you know she'll be worth all this pain,
Someday, someday.
He took everything,
Except one little tiny thing,
Now a bouncing baby girl,
Brings joy into this world,
See what promises can bring,
Now a bouncing baby girl,
Brings joy into this world,
See what promises can bring.
