Promising - Wilco

Cross your fingers behind your back

Squeeze mine until they crack

I must have known you were just promising

Promising, promising

Toothy smile, girly style

In the backyard, all the while

I must have known you were just promising

Promising, promising

I promise you and you promise me

Not to admit defeat

I promise, you promise me

So comforting, wear your ring

Over my head, around my finger

I must have known you were just promising

Promising, promising

I promise you and you promise me

Not to admit defeat

I promise, you promise me
