Something's got to be done about the way I seem to act You haven't followed through on our little pact But I abide by all the rules, and I think you knew I would But now its come the time to change, and I knew I could Chorus: All I need is to be carefree A friend once said to me, you've gotta let yourself be All I need is to be carefree All I need is to be carefree Babe lets hit a movie, and watch the big screen Oh you've got plans tonight, thats fine with me Cause I'll just call another friend, you know I can make plans too I'll end up with twice the fun and no mess with you Chorus I thought you heard me say I needed time And I thought I saw you with another guy Things have changed thats not a lie But now I'll give a chance and see Oh its been a while now, and things are going great I've thrown away the pieces of the me I used to hate I've got the time to do the things that I've always loved to do I'll use the words I've written down to guide you and me through Chorus
