Lyrics:
What I'm lookin' for
Is a love that's forever
Someone who can capture my soul in a heartbeat
And stay for all time
What I'm prayin' for
Is a match made in Heaven
Someone who will worship my body
And still put his heart on the line
Commitment
Someone who'll go the distance
I need somebody with staying power
Who will make me go weak in the knees
Commitment
And everything that goes with it
I need honor and love in my life from somebody
Who's playin' for keeps
What I'm searching for
Is a man who'll stand by me
Who will walk through the fire
And be my flame in the night
Oh, I won't settle for less than what I deserve
A friend and a lover who'll love me
For the rest of my life
Commitment
Someone who'll go the distance
I need somebody with staying power
Who will make me go weak in the knees
Commitment
And everything that goes with it
I need honor and love in my life from somebody
Who's playin' for keeps
Yeah, I've had promises broken
Three words left unspoken
They just left me achin' for more
But I've found temptation
I won't be impatient
There's one thing that's worth waitin' for
Commitment
Someone who'll go the distance
I need somebody with staying power
Who will make me go weak in the knees
Commitment
And everything that goes with it
I need honor and love in my life from somebody
Who's playin' for keeps
Commitment
Someone who'll go the distance
I need somebody with staying power
Who will make me go weak in the knees
Commitment
And everything that goes with it
I need honor and love in my life from somebody
Who's playin' for keeps
Oh, yeah
Commitment
Put on your best suit
Get your arms around me, now we're going down, down, down
Be obscene, be, be obscene
Be obscene, baby, and not heard
Be obscene, be, be obscene
Be obscene, baby, and not heard
You came to see the mobscene
I know it isn't your scene
It's better than a sex scene
And it's so fucking obscene, obscene, yeah
You want commitment? Put on your best suit
Get your arms around me, now we're going down, down, down
You want commitment?
I remember when it all first began
We were tight right from the start
It wasn't long before you came on strong
Trying hard to win my heart (trying to win it)
I played hard to get but I couldn't help
I gave up my ironing
You were thoughtful
Careful not to hurt the relationship
What happened to those days when
You used to be compassionate
Caring what I thought and said
So attentive gentleman
Now it's hard to turn your head away from the TV set
Taking me for granted lately
Frankly, it's gotta quit
I feel under appreciated
Now girls help me out
'Cause you know what I'm talking about I say
I'm feeling underappreciated
For all the time and effort I have put in this commitment
Back to the beginning, to the very beginning
When our love was something new
Back when romance was important
Not just another thing to do
I was feeling high on love tonight
Thought I never come back down
Now it seems that you and me
Have lost our solid ground
Half the time I realize
I seem to give more than I get
Funny how things seem to change
After a few years commitment
Used to talk for hours on end
'Bout our dreams while we lay in bed
How I missed those days when you stayed awake
Now you roll over and snore instead
I feel under appreciated
Now girls help me out
'Cause you know what I'm talking about, I say
I'm feeling under appreciated
For all the time and effort I have put in this commitment
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
I miss those nice massages
The long for closeness
The way you talk
How it turned me on
The thoughtfulness and the sweetest lips
I needed those days back
I feel under appreciated
Now girls help me out
'Cause you know what I'm talking about I say
I'm feeling under appreciated
For all the time and effort I have put in this commitment
Put on your best suit
Get your arms around me, now we're going down, down, down
Be obscene, be, be obscene
Be obscene, baby, and not heard
Be obscene, be, be obscene
Be obscene, baby, and not heard
You came to see the mobscene
I know it isn't your scene
It's better than a sex scene
And it's so fucking obscene, obscene, yeah
You want commitment? Put on your best suit
Get your arms around me, now we're going down, down, down
You want commitment?
You have just accessed the Beautiful Experience
This experience will cover courtship, sex, commitment
Fetishes, loneliness, vindication, love and hate
Welcome, welcom, welco, welc, wel, we, w,
Welcome to The Dawn
You have just accessed the Gold Experience
I've never been this accountable-less and within
I've never known focusless-ness of any form
I've never had this lack of ache for dalliance
To let go and let God in ways I have never even imagined
I declare a moratorium on things relationship
I declare a respite from the toils of liaison
I do need a breather from the flavors of entanglement
I declare a full time out from all things commitment
I've never let my grasp soften fingers like this
I've never been careless otherless like autonomy's twin
I declare a moratorium on things relationship
I declare a respite from the toils of liaison
I do need a breather from the flavors of entanglement
I declare a full time out from all things commitment
Hard to breathe
Stop looking outside
Stop searching in corners of rooms
Not my business or timing
How
I've never known freedom from intertwining
I start again this time for keeps in my skin I'm residing
I declare a moratorium on things relationship
I declare a respite from the toils of liaison
I do need a breather from the flavors of entanglement
I declare a full time out from all things commitment
I declare a moratorium on things relationship
I declare a respite from the toils of liaison
I do need a breather from the flavors of entanglement
I declare a full time out from all things commitment
Into pattern
Flowing blood
Giving form
In every part
The whole you see
Into pattern
Flowing blood
Giving form
From the moment of commitment
Nature conspires to help you
From the moment of commitment
Nature conspires to help you
From the moment of commitment
Nature conspires to help you
Nature conspires to help you
No words of love were spoken
No tears of sadness were shed
There were no unseen tomorrow's
No commitments or sorrows
Just a kiss goodbye and good luck old friend.
No words of love were spoken
No tears of sadness were shed
There were no unseen tomorrow's
No commitments or sorrows
Just a kiss goodbye and good luck old friend...
You used to all the attention, huh? (Yeah)
But you don't want no commitment, huh? (Uh-uh)
Why not? You should be coming home with me
Sitting in this lap with the luxury
Now you be, comin' home while waking up (yeah)
Acting like you behave and stuff (uh-huh)
Why not?
I'm somewhere behind you
You've come with your suitcase in hand
Hey what you plan where do you stand
The world's still divided and you're still under-sided the side if you can
Hey what you plan where do you stand
Where do you stand where do you stand
Hey what you plan where do you stand
It's time for commitments
It's time for a showing up hands
Hey what you plan where do you stand
Surely there's someone with courage
To say where he stands
Hey what you plan where do you stand
Where do you stand
Where do you stand
That place we all run to
It can come down on you
The expectation can be great
If you should ever tire
Or if you should require
A sudden, simple twist of fate
Don't hide away
There's something to be said for pushing through
We'd never ride on horses that discourage you
If you should fall upon hard times
If you should lose your way
There is a place
Here in this house
That you can stay
If you should find romance
Go on and take that chance
Before the strategies begin
Deadlines and commitments
Every morning
And in the evening
They can suck you in
Boy, don't I know it
This offer would be standing
All you've got to do is call
Don't be afraid to knock on the door
If you should fall upon hard times
If you should lose your way
There is a place
Here in this house
That you can stay
I'm not talking about
Deadlines and commitments
Sold out of confusion
There is a place
Here in this house
That you can stay
Catch you, darling
I'll be waiting
I am on your side
This offer would be standing
All you've got to do is call
Don't be afraid to knock on the door
If you should fall upon hard times
If you should lose your way
There is a place
Here in this house
That you can stay
I'm not talking about
Deadlines and commitments
I'm sold out of confusion
There is a place
Here in this house
That you can stay
I'll catch you, darling
I'll be waiting
I am on your side
I'll catch you, darling
I'll be waiting
I am on your side
Finally, I'm crossing the threshold
From the ordinary world
To the reveal of my heart
Undoubtedly, that will for certain
Take the dead out of the sea
And the darkness from the arts
This is my commitment (ah)
My modern manifesto (ah)
I'm doing it for all of us (ah)
Who never got the chance
For and for (shut up, shut up)
And all my birds of paradise
Who never got to fly at night
'Cause they were caught up in the dance
Sometimes it feels like I've got a war in my mind
I want to get off but I keep riding the ride
I never really notice that I had to decide
To play someone's game or to live my own life and now I do
I want to move
Out of the black (out of the black)
Into to the blue (into the blue)
Finally
Gone is the burden
Of the Crowley way of being
That comes from energies combined
Like my part was I
Was not discerning
And you as we found out
Were not in your right mind
There's no more chasing rainbows (ah)
And hoping for an end to them (ah)
Their arches are illusions (ah)
Solid at first glance
But then you try to touch them
There's nothing to hold on to
The colors used to lure you in
And put you in a trance
(Yeah)
Sometimes it feels like I've got a war in my mind
I want to get off but I keep riding the ride
I never really notice that I had to decide
To play someone's game or to live my own life and now I do
I want to move
Out of the black (out of the black)
Into the blue (into the blue)
Out of the black (out of the black)
Into the blue (into the blue)
Out of the black (out of the black)
Into the blue (into the blue)
Hold on, hold on, fuck that
Fuck that shit
Hold on, I got to start this motherfuckin' record over again
Wait a minute
Fuck that shit
Still on this motherfuckin' record
I'ma play this motherfucka for y'all
Ayy, y'all get some more drinks goin' on
I'll sound a whole lot better
Listen
Seeing you got ritualistic
Cleansin' my soul of addiction for now
'Cause I'm fallin' apart
Yeah, tension
Between us just like picket fences
You got issues that I won't mention for now
'Cause we're fallin' apart
Passionate from miles away
Passive with the things you say
Passin' up on my old ways
I can't blame you, no, no
Passionate from miles away
Passive with the things you say
Passin' up on my old ways
I can't blame you, no, no
Listen
Harder buildin' trust from a distance
I think we should rule out commitment for now
'Cause we're fallin' apart
Leavin'
You're just doing that to get even
Don't pick up the pieces, just leave it for now
They keep fallin' apart
Passionate from miles away
Passive with the things you say
Passin' up on my old ways
I can't blame you, no, no
Passionate from miles away
Passive with the things you say
Passin' up on my old ways
I can't blame you, no, no
Um, trying to think of the right thing to say
Ordained for proclaimin' the gospel of Jesus
The great super preachers go crusadin' on
And the people all gather in big congregations
They hear of the Saviour who came to atone
And they kneel at the altar and they walk away happy
Then the devil starts gossip about money and sex
Makin' it hard on the good men of God like Billy and Bob and Oral and Rex
Old Billy Sunday is dead and gone young Jim Robertson's comin' on strong
And Billy and Rex and Oral and Bob are talkin' about Jesus and doin' their job
Millions of people tune in Katherine Coolman
And see her face shine with an unearthly light
Garner Ted warns of the world of tomorrow
But they criticized him and the reverend died
'Cause the devil is after the great super preachers
He'd try to discredit the gospel they bring
But Billy and Rex and Oral and Bob hold to their commitment to Jesus the King
Old Billy Sunday is dead and gone young Tommy Barnett is comin' on strong
And Billy and Rex and Oral and Rex are talkin' about Jesus and doin' their job
Old Billy Sunday is dead and gone young Jimmy Snow is comin' on strong
And Billy and Rex and Oral and Bob are talkin' about Jesus and doin' their job
She just wanna go dancing (dancing)
Baby, tell me what you're hopin'
And leave your door wide open
See it in slow motion (motion, motion, motion)
Baby, tell me what you're hopin'
See you bust wide open
Move it in slow motion (motion, motion, motion)
Well, I was really upset
But, I got lost in love today
You was commitment-ready
So, I had to find a way
Even when upset, you lift me up on occasions
She just wanna go dancing (dancing)
Baby, tell me what you're hopin'
And leave your door wide open
See it in slow motion (motion, motion, motion)
Baby, tell me what you're hopin'
See you bust wide open
Move it in slow motion (motion, motion, motion)
Only you, wey dey make me, make me work all night
If not your love, I need am one more time
Every night and day, yeah, I dey tell true lies
Touchin' on your body, making you feel right
Hold you back and make you drop the drawers alright
Make a tie your strings weh go bust your mind
As the rythym trouble baby, bust so wide
Make a give you tings a make you go all night
Only you, way to make me, make me work all night
Fiendin' 'bout your love and I need one more time
Every night and day, yeah, I could tell true love
Touchin' on your body, making you feel (feel)
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
She just wanna go dancing (dancing)
Baby, tell me what you're hopin'
And leave your door wide open
See it in slow motion (motion, motion, motion)
Baby, tell me what you're hopin'
See you bust wide open
Move it in slow motion (motion, motion, motion)
See, I was really upset
But, I got lost in love today
You was commitment-ready
So, I had to find a way
Even when upset, you lift me up on occasion
Where should I start
Disjointed heart
I've got no commitment to my own flesh and blood
Left all alone
Far from my home
No one to hear me, to heal my ill heart
I keep it locked up inside
I cannot express to the point I've regressed
If anger's a gift, then I guess I've been blessed
I keep it locked up inside
Keep my distance from your lies
It's too late to love me now
You have never shown me
It's too late to love me now
You don't even know me
Breaking a part of my heart to find release
Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace
Breaking a part of my heart to find release
Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace
Breaking a part of my heart to find release (break)
Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace (me)
Breaking a part of my heart to find release (too)
Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace
Keep it locked up inside
Keep my distance from your lies
Breaking a part of my heart to find release (break)
Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace (me)
Breaking a part of my heart to find release (too)
Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace
Breaking a part of my heart to find release
Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace
Breaking a part of my heart to find release
Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace
Keep my distance
Keep my distance
Keep my distance
Keep my distance
Spit drips from the jaw of the witless witness
Cryptic colloquialisms shift your mid rift
Dog-paddle through a bog of shadows and smog
With my thought catalog, analog, rap battle log
Keep my distance, and fear resistance, hurt by persistence
The twisted web of tangled lies strangles my hope to waste and numbs the taste
And I'm forced to face these hate crimes
Against the state of being, feeling the weightlessness
Press me to the ceiling, reeling around rooms, riding a bubble of sound
Tuned to the frequency making your chest shake with every boom
Involuntary muscle contraction
Ignoring your neck's breaking, musical gas fume euphoria
The sound pounds to make the dead flush
To hand you a head rush with read rhymes and said stuff
Don't wanna lose control
Think it's time to tell 'er that I'm moving on (I'm moving on)
I'm moving on
Not tryna make commitments (commitments)
Just tryna make decisions (decisions)
'Cause I'm faithful
Faithful yeah
'Cause I'm faithful
I don't wanna hurt your heart
But I told you from the start
'Cause I'm faithful
You know I'm faithful
Everyday you're wondering (wondering)
Asking me who was I with and where I been
Write 'em all
'Cause baby I am leaving
You know that I'm moving on, moving on
I'm moving on, I'm moving on
You made a promise
Girl at least I'm honest
'Cause I'm faithful
Faithful yeah
'Cause I'm faithful
I don't wanna hurt your heart
But I told you from the start
'Cause I'm faithful
You know I'm faithful
It seems like every day you wanna fight
Why do you think I don't wanna spend the night
You always mess with me
Let me be
I'm moving on slowly
I'm moving on, I'm moving on
You made a promise
Girl at least I'm honest
I'm moving on, I'm moving on
I gave you everything I have, I have nothing to give
'Cause I'm faithful (faithful, 'cause I'm faithful)
Faithful yeah
'Cause I'm faithful
I don't wanna hurt your heart
But I told you from the start
'Cause I'm faithful
You know I'm faithful
Don't wanna lose control
Think it's time to tell her that I'm moving on (I'm moving on)
I'm moving on
Not tryna make commitments (commitments)
Just tryna make decisions (decisions)
‘Cause I'm faithful
Faithfuuul yeah
‘Cause I'm faithful
I don't want to hurt your heart
But I told you from the start
‘Cause I'm faithfuuul
You know I'm faithfuuul.
Hold on, hold on, that

Gonna get back to basics
Guess I'll start it up again
I'm fallin' from the ceiling
You're falling from the sky now and then
Maybe you were shot down in pieces
Maybe I slipped in between
But we were gonna be the wildest, the wildest, the wildest people they ever hoped to see
Yeah, just you and me
So why'd you come home to this sleepless town?
It's a lifetime commitment
Recovering the satellites
All anybody really wants to know is
When you gonna come down
When you gonna come down
Your mother recognizes all you're desperate displays
And she watches as her baby drifts violently away
'Til they see themselves in telescopes
Listen, do you see yourself in me?
Either side of the world
Chase the sun
Pay the maximum rate
To feel so lonesome
Wrapped up like little lambs
Safe from harm
Enjoy it while you can
Happiness is far from home
You know it, he knows it
Everybody knows it
When you're in love
The world moves with you
Whatever you want
They're happy to give you
The last resort
Where the famous have come
To be alone
Try to work it out
The same progression
Sometimes I try too hard
To overcome
Sometimes I think too much
Wish I could've held my tongue
You know it, he knows it
Everybody knows it
When you're in love
The world moves with you
Whatever you want
You turn yourself into
And then you're in Hell
Luxury and leisure
Never meant pleasure
Real life but different
Passion and commitment
Commitment
Wish I could've held my tongue
You know it he knows it
Everybody knows it
When you're in love
The world moves with you
Whatever you want
They're happy to give you
When you're in Hell
Luxury and leisure
Never meant pleasure
Real life but different
Passion and commitment
Either side of the world
Chase the sun
Pay the maximum rate
To feel so lonesome
Wrapped up like little lambs
Safe from harm
Enjoy it while you can
Happiness is far from home
You know it, he knows it
Everybody knows it
When you're in love
The world moves with you
Whatever you want
They're happy to give you
The last resort
Where the famous have come
To be alone
Try to work it out
The same progression
Sometimes I try too hard
To overcome
Sometimes I think too much
Wish I could've held my tongue
You know it, he knows it
Everybody knows it
When you're in love
The world moves with you
Whatever you want
You turn yourself into
And then you're in Hell
Luxury and leisure
Never meant pleasure
Real life, but different
Passion and commitment
Commitment
Wish I could've held my tongue
You know it, he knows it
Everybody knows it
When you're in love
The world moves with you
Whatever you want
They're happy to give you
When you're in hell
Luxury and leisure
Never meant pleasure
Real life, but different
Passion and commitment
So searching down and out looking for a place to stay
A place of no commitment, a place with no involvement.
I got one eye on insanity, the other on the wheel,
One's turning, one's burning, blazing away.
