Story Behind The Song
Just sitting one evening thinking of how much I enjoyed the part of being single and free from not having to answer to anyone, as to, where have you been, what have you been doing, or who did you talk to.
Song Description
This song when written was to convey the thought of a single persons life to stay unmarried. It was not recorded totally how it was originally written, and has a few verse changes, but is 90% of what I originally wrote.

Lyrics
Come on.....
I'm not a puppet, puppet on some strings,
Don't even ever think of wedding rings,
Life is too short, for me to be,
Yea!
Life's too short for me to be, nothing other than being free, oh being free baby,
Anything other than being free,
crowds the joy that the freedom brings,
Life is to me, all about being free, and being me,
Nothing other than, the joy of doing my thing, with my thing, baby,
Spare me the likes of freedom bound,
becoming a fool or someones clown,
I don't want to ever be tied down,
Nor do I aspire to be on a finger wrapped around,
Anything other than being free,
clouds the joy that freedom brings,
Life's too short for me to be, nothing other than being free,
Clouds the joy that freedom brings,
Takes the bird and doesn't make her sing,
because she's in that cage,
Oh what a price we wage baby.
