Lyrics The Deal

So here’s the deal for you and me
I’ve worked it out oh so carefully
It’s all about two people who
Will only do what they want to do
And though nobody else has yet succeeded
We could be the first to get what we both need
Without a compromise

We won’t expect too much
“It’s optional” will be our mantra
Forget that couple stuff
We’re giving nothing up
And getting what we want

Traditional is out of date
The perfect match and the soul mate
The time is here to blaze a trail
If things get weird we can always bail
There’ll be no need to keep our best intentions
We’ll dispose of all those moldy old conventions

We won’t expect a lot
Commitment-free will be our motto
We’ll go with what we’ve got
We’re giving nothing up
And giving it a shot

Oh should we find emotion creeping in
We’ll deal with it then

The odds predict that one in two will split
So what the hell?

We won’t expect too much
“It’s optional” will be our mantra
Forget that couple stuff
Forget about love
That’s the deal
It’s optional
