A Temporary Thing

(I Refuse to Be) A TEMPORARY THING
©Jim Molinelli

[Verse]
I’ve seen couples laughin’, who have built themselves a life,
I want that feeling too, not just a few electric nights.
A kiss out in the moonlight, may be sweet and true,
But I need more than moments, what I need is me and you.

[Chorus]
I don’t want to be a temporary thing,
In case you’re passin’ time,
Or playing out the string.
So if you won’t commit,
You should gather up your things.
Cause I refuse to be a temporary thing.

[Verse]
I don’t want just a spark. I’m looking for a flame.
And a lover who's sincere, whose heart feels the same.
So I stepped up my game, and drew a line in the sand,
It's time that we commit to move forward hand in hand.

[Chorus]
I don’t want to be a temporary thing,
In case you’re passin’ time,
Or playing out the string.
So if you won’t commit,
You should gather up your things.
Cause I refuse to be a temporary thing.

[Verse]
Let's take the road less traveled, the one that never ends,
We'll build our brightest future as lovers and as friends.
And since love should last much longer than a sunburn’s sting,
The first step in my mind has a permanent ring!

[Chorus]
I don’t want to be a temporary thing,
In case you’re passin’ time,
Or playing out the string.
So if you won’t commit,
Go and gather up your things.
Cause I refuse to be a temporary thing.

Yeah I refuse to be a temporary thing.
