Sweet I Wanna Be Committed song lyrics

I thought I was a space age cowboy

I thought I was a sweet and sour chow-boy

I thought I was a thinker

a juvenile drinker

I thought I had some kind of a brain

'till they told me I just a rumour

a cheap and nasty looner

As it turned out I was just insane

Chorus

I wanna be committed

Insanity permitted

I wanna be committed for my mind

I wanna be committed

Don't let me be remitted

I wanna be committed if you don't mind

At the dance last Saturday night

I was rockin' and rollin' and holding her tight

'till I got my hands on her

But when I started out to play

she kept pushing me away

'till I got a funny feeling

I was walking on the ceiling

and someone was heard to say 'If you don't mind, sir.'

I don't mind

I thought I was a teenage dream-boy

With a brain made of solid plastic alloy

I thought I was a tripper

Ain't nobody hipper

'till they told me I was going down the drain

Chorus
