It's conditional

Not for free

There are strings attached

Tied to me

I'll want something back

If you agree

To be in love with me

Hold me hold me in your arms

Hold me in your memory

Perfect perfect in your gaze

Far as my eye can see

It's conditional

Not for free

There are strings attached

Tied to me

I'll want something back

If you agree

To be in love with me

Try to try to try to forget

To change the things about me

You can not accept

Any day that you have regret

Just let it recede

It's conditional

Not for free

There are strings attached

Tied to me

I'll want something back

If you agree

To be in love with me

There are vows that must be made

There are terms that can't expire

There are words that must be said

And there are qualifiers

I'll love you but I'll count the ways

The things that I admire

And anyone who says they won't

You can call a liar

It's conditional

Not for free

There are strings attached

Tied to me

I'll want something back

If you agree

To be in love with me

Stay with me stay with me

Right or wrong

Pledge your loyalty

Have faith have faith

That we do belong

Together for eternity

It's conditional

Not for free

There are strings attached

Tied to me

I'll want something back

If you agree

To be in love with me
