What I Bargained For
[©2021 William Livesay]
I took my love to another place
All I wanted was to get a taste
But I consumed the whole damn plate
It isn't what I bargained for
I tried to curb my appetite
but I was taken by the merchandise.
Now I’ll have to pay the asking price
It isn't what I bargained for
Days pass by and I’m back again
Walking on ice that's paper thin
Wants me to pledge more than I can give
It isn't what I bargained for
I told myself I could walk away
cut the ties that made me stray
But I was caught up in a passion play
And it isn't what I bargained for
I should've known when I was breaking ground
My little venture would bring me down
Now I'm sleeping in the lost and found
It isn't what I bargained for..no
It isn't what I bargained for
It isn't what I bargained for
Like a fool I went rushing in
But who am I trying to kid?
Just like a fool I’d do it over and over again
It’s exactly what I bargained for
