commitments - la main verte

J'ai pensé que peut-être
On pourrait nous permettre
De fumer nos pètes
J'ai pensé que le bien être
Se retrouve dans la fête
Et que ce commerce fait recette
"Va te faire mettre!"

J'ai compris en fumant
Que fumer c'est de l'argent
Et que j'en donne à des gens
Qui allègrement amassent
les bagues en diamant
Sur le dos de pauvres paysans

Alors c'est Bong Bang Boum!
J'ai la solution
Des tonnes de graines pour des hectares de plantation
Faites fleurir les jardins, décorer les balcons
Expliquer à vos voisins que fumer vous coûte du pognon
Je veux fumer de l'herbe de qualité
Boucher l'trou de la sécu en fumant mon tarpé
Ne plus transpirer à chaque contrôle d'identité
Qu'on arrête d'm'considérer comme un drogué
Alors c'est Bong Bang Boum!
J'ai la solution
Des tonnes de graines pour des hectares de plantation
De Mars à Octobre
C'est la bonne saison
Y'a plus qu'à espérer qu'on arrache pas tous mes pieds!

J'ai pensé que peut-être
Toutes ces thunes malhonnêtes
Servent à nos dirigeants
Qui s'entêtent et répètent
A dire que la fumette
C'est pas bon pour les gens
J'ai compris qu'pour du chichon
Tu peux aller en prison
Que l'alcool tue à foison
Que si la légalisation n'est pas le mot d'ordre de ces bouffons
C'est qu'ils ont de bonnes raisons

Alors c'est Bon Bang Boom!
J'ai la solution
Des tonnes de graines pour des hectares de plantation
Faites fleurir les jardins décorer les balcons
Expliquer à vos voisins que fumer vous coûte du pognon
Je veux fumer de l'herbe de qualité
Boucher le trou de la sécu en fumant mon tarpé
Ne plus transpirer à chaque contrôle d'identité
Qu'on arrête de me considérer comme un drogué

Alors c'est Bong Bang Boom
J'ai la solution
Des tonnes de graines pour des hectares de plantation
De Mars à Octobre
C'est la bonne saison
Y'a plus qu'à espérer qu'on arrache pas tous mes pieds
Alors c'est Bong Bang Boum...

commitments - try a little tenderness

Oh she may be weary,
and young girls they do get wearied
Wearing that same old shaggy dress,

The things that she' never never never never possess, yeah
But while she there waiting, with out them
Try just a little bit of tenderness

That's all you got to do (this is for you)

It's not just sentimental no no,

But soft words they are spoke so gentle
It makes it easier, easier to bear

You won't regret it, no no,
Young girls they never forget it
Love is their only happiness
But its all so easy,

commitments - destination anywhere

Said to the man at the railroad station,
"I want a ticket, just for one."
He said, "Well, if you insist. Where you wanna go, Miss?"

Oh, destination anywhere
East or west, I don't care
You see my baby don't love me no more
This old world ain't got no back door

He looked at me with a funny face and said,
"Are you sure you wanna go just anyplace?"
I said, "If you ever loved someone, the way I loved that man,
Surely Mr. ticket agent, you should understand."

Destination anywhere
East or west, I don't care
You see my baby don't want me no more
This old world ain't got no back door

'Cause every day, it would swing both ways
And we'd go on back to happy yesterdays
When I loved him tenderly
And all he needed was me.

As I stepped through the window of the train
I thought I heard my baby call my name
But it was just the conductor saying,
"Which stop would you prefer?"

Oh, destination anywhere
East or west, I don't care
You see my baby don't love me no more
This old world ain't got no back door

Destination anywhere
East or west, I don't care
Destination anywhere
East or west, I don't care
Destination anywhere
East or west, I don't care
Destination anywhere
East or west, I don't care
(ad lib to end)

commitments - do right woman do right man

Take her to heart
And she'll love you forever
And nobody can make her do wrong
But take her for granted, leaving your love unshown
Makes will power weak and temptation strong

A woman's only human
This you should understand
She's not just a plaything
She's flesh and blood, just like her man
And if you want a do right all day woman
You've gotta be a do right all night man

commitments - grits aint groceries

If I don't love you baby,
grits ain't groceries,
eggs ain't poultry,
and Mona Lisa was a man.

All around the world
I'd rather be a fly
and light on my baby's head,
I'll stay with that
woman 'til I die.
A toothpick in my hand,
I dig a 10-foot ditch
and ride through the jungle
fightin' lions with a switch,
because ya' know I love ya' baby,
well, you know I love you baby,
and if I don't love you baby,
grits ain't groceries,
eggs ain't poultry,
and Mona Lisa must-a been a man.

Well, it's all around the world and I got
blisters on my feet
a-tryin' to find my baby,
a-bring her back to me.
If you see my baby,
I know she'll be convinced.
If it don't send her back to me,
it just
don't make no sense,
because ya' know I love ya' baby,
well, you know I love you baby.
If I don't love you baby,
grits ain't groceries and eggs ain't poultry,
and Mona Lisa must-a been a man.

Well,
all around the world
I never will forget
I lost all my money, my woman and my pet,
but I got to have you baby,
I got to settle for nothin' less,
give up all my good time for the sake of happiness,
because ya' know I love ya' baby,
you know,
you know I love you baby.
If I don't love you baby,
grits ain't groceries,
eggs ain't poultry,
and Mona Lisa must-a been a man.

I said, if I don't love you baby,
grits ain't groceries,
eggs ain't poultry,
and Mona Lisa must-a
Mona Lisa must-a been a man.

Well,

commitments - i never loved a man

You're a no good heart breaker
You're a liar and you're a cheat
And I don't know why
I let you do these things to me
My friends keep telling me
That you ain't no good
But oh, they don't know
That I'd leave you if I could

I guess I'm uptight
And I'm stuck like glue
Cause I ain't never
I ain't never, I ain't never, no, no (loved a man)
(The way that I, I love you)

Some time ago I thought
You had run out of fools
But I was so wrong
You got one that you'll never lose
The way you treat me is a shame
How could ya hurt me so bad
Baby, you know that I'm the best thing
That you ever had
Kiss me once again

Don'cha never, never say that we we're through
Cause I ain't never
Never, Never, no, no (loved a man)
(The way that I, I love you)

I can't sleep at night
And I can't even fight
I guess I'll never be free
Since you got, your hooks, in me

Whoa, oh, oh

I ain't never loved a man, baby
Ain't never had a man hurt me so bad

No
Well this is what I'm gonna do about it

You didn't have to love me like you did
But you did, but you did.
And I thank you.

You didn't have to squeeze me like you did
But you did, but you did.
And I thank you.

If you took your love to somewhere else
I wouldn't know what it meant to be loved to death
You made me feel like I've never felt
Kisses so good I had to holler for help

You didn't have to squeeze me but you did
But you did but you did
And I thank you.

You didn't have to hold me but you did
But you did but you did
And I thank you.

But you did but you did
And I thank you.

You didn't have to make it like you did
But you did but you did
And I thank you.

Without your love baby, it's a crying shame
And now I know what the fellas are talking about
When they say that they been turned out
