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
