We've been going together Too long to be vague When there's something to say If it's not now then it's never So I'll say it straight out 'Cause I have no doubt, no doubt Let's get married I love you and I want to stay with you Let's get married Have kids and grow old and grey with you Let's get married Hold hands, walk in the park You can get a cat as long as it barks We know other people Who drifted apart Who broke each other's hearts But we ain't other people So we'll do things our way We're gonna be okay We're gonna be more than okay Let's get married We're ready for tying the knot Let's get married Set the seal on the feelings we've got Let's get married We can make each other happy or we can make each other blue Yeah, it's just a piece of paper, but it it says, "I love you." For the good times For the days when we can do no wrong For the bad times For the moments when we think we can't go on For the family For the lives of the children that we've planned Let's get married C'mon darlin', please take my hand And I'll be the one Who's by your side I'll be the one Still taking pride When we're old if they ask me, "How do you define success?" I'll say, "You meet a woman You fall in love You ask her and She says, 'Yes.'" Let's get married I love and I want to stay with you Let's get married Have kids and grow old and grey with you Let's get married Hold hands when we walk in the park All right, you can get a cat, just as long as it barks For the good times For the days when we can do no wrong For the bad times For the moments when we think we can't go on For the family For the lives of the children that we've planned Let's get married C'mon darlin', please take my hand
