I'd rather be loose, <br />Than to run <br />From one who's come undone... <br />Because their number one, <br />Finds them to be no fun! <br /> <br />I'd rather be a goose, <br />Than become <br />Abused and used by the one... <br />To be a fool played like some. <br />Losing their pride, speech and tongue. <br /> <br />I'm not going to be noosed, <br />Like a moose... <br />Afraid that someone will shoot, <br />If I stop jumping through hoops! <br />Like they'd choose me to do. <br /> <br />Oh no... <br />That's not my purpose or my destiny! <br />Oh no... <br />That's not the life I know is meant for me! <br />Oh no... <br />I'm not going to gamble on the lottery, <br />To be free... <br />Of those headaches I don't need. <br /> <br />I'd rather be loose, <br />Than to run <br />From one who's come undone... <br />Because their number one, <br />Finds them to be no fun! <br /> <br />Oh no... <br />That's not my purpose or my destiny! <br />Oh no... <br />That's not the life I know is meant for me! <br />Oh no... <br />I'm not going to gamble on the lottery, <br />To be free... <br />Of those headaches I don't need. <br /> <br />Oh no... <br />That's not my purpose or my destiny! <br />Oh no... <br />That's not the life I know is meant for me! <br />Oh no... <br />I'm not going to gamble on the lottery, <br />To be free... <br />Of those headaches I don't need. <br /> <br />I'm not going to be noosed, <br />Like a moose... <br />Afraid that someone will shoot, <br />If I stop jumping through hoops! <br />Like they'd choose me to do. <br />Not me.<br /><br />Lawrence S.
