Tracy Chapman - Conditional lyrics

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 don'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
