Marry me a little
|
Love me just enough

Cry but not too often
|
Play but not too rough

Keep a tender distance
|
So we'll both be free
|
That's the way it ought to be
|
I'm ready
|

|
|
Marry me a little
|
Do it with a will
|
Make a few demands
|
I'm able to fulfill
|
Want me more than others
|
Not exclusively
|
That's the way it oughta be
|
I'm ready
|
I'm ready now
|
|
You can be my best friend
|
I can be your right arm
|
We'll go through a fight or two
|
No harm, no harm
|
We'll look not too deep
|
We'll go not too far
|
We won't have to give up a thing
|
We'll stay who we are
|
Right? ok then
|
I'm ready
|
I'm ready now
|
|
Someone marry me a little
|
Love me just enough
|
Warm and sweet and easy
|
Just the simple stuff
|
Keep a tender distance
|
So we'll both be free
|
That's the way it oughta be
|
I'm ready
|
I'm ready
|
|
Marry me a little
|
Body, heart, and soul
|
Passion
|
But always in control
|
Want me first and formost
|
Keep me company
|
That's the way it oughta be
|
I'm ready
|
I'm ready now
|
|
Oh how gently we'll talk
|
Oh how softly we'll tred
|
All the stends, the ugly things
|
We'll keep unsaid
|
We'll build a cocoon
|
Of love and respect
|
You promise whatever you like
|
I'll never collect
|
Right? ok then
|
I'm ready
|
I'm ready now
|
Someone
|
I'm ready
|
I'm ready
|
I'm ready now
|
