[Verse:]
|
[Pickles:]
|
You're compromising me
|
But that's exactly as it ought to be
|
I simply fell for you because I wanted to fall
|
Don't speak of wedding chimes
|
Because we mustn't be behind the times
|
Besides a wedding isn't necessary at all
|
|
[1st refrain:]
|
Don't worry because I fell
|
You don't have to do right by Nell
|
'Cause I don't wanna be married, I just wanna be friends
|
|
Don't worry 'cause I gave in
|
Best of families live in sin
|
'Cause they don't wanna be married, they just wanna be friends
|
|
While all the happy married couples sit and fight
|
We'll be still going strong
|
And fifty million Frenchmen say it's quite alright
|
And that many can't be wrong
|
|
I never would change my name
|
Even after the baby came
|
'Cause I don't wanna be married, I just wanna be friends
|
|
[2nd refrain:]
|
[Joe:]
|
My father would give me hell
|
If I didn't do right by Nell
|
But I don't wanna be married, I just wanna be friends
|
|
Please grant me my father's wish
|
Shotgun weddings are just his dish
|
I don't wanna be married, I just wanna be friends
|
|
The kiddies wouldn't like it, they'd be awfully mad
|
'Twould be known near and far
|
To be a little "who's-this" isn't really bad
|
For some of my best friends are
|
|
If not for the family
|
Make an hon'rable man of me!
|
But I don't wanna be married, I just wanna be friends
|
