I Can't Go For That

I was lucky enough to get to practice yoga with this bright light both yesterday and today. There are so many reasons I love practicing with him: The depth of the bhakti in his teaching, the beautiful way he communicates and shares it, his playfulness, his humor, his joie de vivre, his mad skills...

Oh, and sometimes, the songs on his playlist, like this one that I got to hear yesterday and today:

Easy, ready, willing, overtime
Where does it stop
Where do you dare me
To draw the line
You've got the body
Now you want my soul
Don't even think about it
Say, no go
I, I-I, I 'll do anything
That you want me to do
Yeah, I, I-I, I'll do almost anything
That you want me too, ooh
Yeah

But I can't go for that, nooo
(No)
No can do
I can't go for that, nooo
(No)
No can do
I can't go for that, nooo
(No)
No can do
I can't go for that
Can't go for that
Can't go for that
Can't go for that

I can go for being twice as nice
I can go for just repeating
The same old lines
Use the body
Now you want my soul
Ooh, forget about it
Now say, no go

And he made some comment about how my heartbeat was this song, and I guess it kinda is. Because one of the things I found, in the New Englander's absence, is my own limits. And I reckon we're going to have an easier time navigating life when I don't continually go outside of myself and beyond them:

I, I-I, I 'll do anything
That you want me to do
Yeah, I, I-I, I'll do almost anything
That you want me too, ooh
Yeah

But I can't go for that, nooo
(No)
No can do
I can't go for that, nooo
(No)
No can do
I can't go for that, nooo
(No)
No can do
I can't go for that
Can't go for that
Can't go for that
Can't go for that, yeah

Yeah. And also, while searching to see which Hall and Oates' songs I'd already used, I found this one, which has been on repeat in my head ever since. PS to that post: you're not such a mystery after all, man who's making my dreams come true!
