Just Water - No Strings on Me Lyrics

I had a girlfriend; she was the prize of the neighborhood
I had arms that were ready to hold, but no money to keep her
Then I had a lover; she'd be the one love of my life
She had pride but needed much more than I had to give her

Now there's no strings on me
I've got nothing yet to give
No strings on me
I've got a lot to live

Then I had a woman that I took to be my wife
First we struggled through a year of life; I could barely feed her
So I ran like a rabbit, away from everyone that saw me
The world has kidnapped my wife and my home, and I can't pay the ransom

Now there's no strings on me
I've got nothing yet to give
No strings on me
I've got a lot to live

6 o'clock in the morning, I used to get up to earn my keep
Now I've got no one who needs me, no one to care how late I sleep
I've got just enough in my pocket, and it's little enough to be free

I'm living in motion, away from everyone who knows me
The world has kidnapped my wife and my home, and I can't pay the ransom

The world has kidnapped my wife and my home, and I can't pay the ransom

No strings on me
I've got nothing yet to give
No strings on me
I've got a lot to, I've got a lot to live

Let's take a trip to Shangri-la
Just you and me on a beach in a south sea land
Let's make our home in Shangri-la
Outside of paradise just the palms and the sands

I've got plans for the two of us
Lots of plans for the two of us

Oh wherever we be
Heaven would be just because you're with me in my Shangri-la

Let's take a trip to Shangri-la
Just you and me on a beach in a south sea land
Let's make our home in Shangri-la
Outside of paradise just the palms and the sands

I've got plans for the two of us
Lots of plans for the two of us

Oh wherever we be
Heaven would be just because you're with me in my Shangri-la

I'll be your music maker, and sing songs enough for two
There'll be no strings attached, except the ones attached to you
