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optional” will be our mantra Forget that couple stuff We're giving nothing up And getting what we want Traditional is out of date The perfect match and the soul mate The time is here to blaze a trail If things get weird we can always bail There'll be no need to keep our best intentions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 (Instr.) 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 --- The Deal - Amy Rigby
