I'd Like to See You Try
Unraveling Love's Resistance: I'd Like to See You Try by Chad Brock
Lyrics
You've been hintin' at commitment
You have been subtly suggesting commitment
In spite of what I told you from the start
Despite my initial warnings, you continue with your commitment intentions
If you think I'm gonna buy all that forever talkin'
If you believe I'll easily accept long-term promises
You won't get too far
Your efforts won't be successful
Don't you know I'm just too set in my ways
I'm firmly set in my habits and ways
And I'm afraid it's just too late for me to change
Changing is not an option for me at this point
'Cause I've been rolling like a river
I've been living freely and unpredictably
Always flowing to wherever all my life
My life has been a continuous journey
Even so you think you know what you can do
Even though you believe you can influence me
To make me never say goodbye
To prevent me from saying goodbye
Yeah right
Sarcastically expressing skepticism
Baby, that ain't gonna happen
Stating firmly that commitment won't happen
But I'd like to see you try
However, expressing curiosity or challenge
If you really want to tie me down
If you genuinely want to make me commit
Then throw those loving arms around me now
Embrace me with love and affection now
I won't stop you if you must insist on kissing me
Expressing willingness to accept physical affection
Until I come around
Until I change my perspective
Yeah, that would do the trick if I was so inclined
Suggesting that such actions might work if he were inclined to commit
But I'm warning you, you're wasting your time
Warning that the efforts are futile
'Cause I've been rolling like a river
Reiterating a life of unpredictability
Always flowing to wherever all my life
Continued free-flowing lifestyle
Even so you think you know what you can do
Despite your attempts to influence me
To make me never say goodbye
To make me avoid saying goodbye
Yeah right
Sarcastically expressing doubt
Baby, that ain't gonna happen
Asserting that commitment won't happen
But I'd like to see you try
Repeating the challenge or curiosity
Don't you know I'm just too set in my ways
Restating inflexibility in habits
I'm afraid it's just too late for me to change
Reiterating the impossibility of change
'Cause I've been rolling like a river
Describing a life of continuous movement
Always flowing to wherever all my life
Continued unpredictable journey
Even so you think you know what you can do
Despite attempts to influence
To make me never say goodbye
To avoid saying goodbye
Yeah right
Sarcastic reaffirmation of skepticism
Baby, that ain't gonna happen
Reiterating that commitment won't occur
But I'd like to see you try
Repeating the challenge or curiosity
Baby, that ain't gonna happen
Emphasizing the impossibility of commitment
But I'd like to see you try
Repeating the challenge or curiosity
I'd like to see you try
Expressing a desire to witness the attempt
