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
