you promised forever
i promised the same
gave each other bands of gold
and i agreed to take your name
a shower of rice
a toast with champagne
we drove our way into a setting sun
a cloudless sky
a perfect life
no chance for rain
that was the deal
that was the way we planned it
we signed on the dotted line
but did not understand it
it's not easy to change
the way that you feel
and it's hard to live up to the terms of the deal
who could have known now who is to say
which one is wrong or right as we go our separate ways
and so we begin
our negotiations
i'll get the house some kids
and you will see them father's day and special
okay allegiance
this is the deal
this is the deal
this is the way we planned it
we signed on the dotted line
that did not understand it
it's not easy to change
this is the way that you feel
and it's hard to live up to the terms of the deal
all the king's lawyers
and all the king's friends
cannot put this love affair back together again
this is the deal
this is the deal
this is the way we planned it
signed on the dotted line
you'll never understand it
it's not easy to change
this is the deal
the way that you feel
it's so hard to live up to the turns of the deal
it's so hard to live up to the turns of the deal
