Strong Commitment Lyrics by Bryan MacLean

ifyoubelievein

1997

[Verse 1]
Never would I take one of these female creatures as a wife, sir
I intend to remain single as long as there is a breath of life here
So all you wanting ladies, no need hanging 'round my door
You'd be disappointed if it's love you're waiting for

Ladies should be used and simply tossed aside like worn-out shoes
I'd be quite content if love were all I had to lose

[Chorus]
I was born to be my own company
I was born to ramble solitary

[Verse 2]
Women seem to all have female logic, this I live without, sir
You could waste a life and never find what they are all about, sir

[Chorus]
I guess I will be as free as I ought to
There are still things here for me to see
And I've simply got to

[Verse 3]
Never would I find myself amist these sweet preoccupations
Drunken to despair with such emotion or intoxication
I'll have cheers to reason, not with children [?] and red
Children I dislike for peace of mind will remain my narrow bed

Much to quick for love to catch, I flinch at mere insinuation
Never was a man so well resigned to such intense evasion

[Chorus]
I have got my own life to live
I have got no time to ponder
Over what to take and what's to give
I'd sooner spend my life in wonder

[Bridge]
You see me stare out the window, I'm looking at my own reflexion

[Verse 4]
Never would I take one of these female creatures as a wife, sir
I intend to remain single as long as there is a breath of life here
So all you wanting ladies, no need hanging 'round my door
You'd be disappointed if it's love you're waiting for

Ladies should be used and simply tossed aside like worn-out shoes
I'd be quite content if love were all I had to lose
