Marry Me a Little |
| 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 ought to 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? |
| Okay, 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 ought to be |
| I’m ready! |
| Marry me a little |
| Body, heart, and soul |
| Passionate as hell |
| But always in control |
| Want me first and foremost |
| Keep me company |
| That’s the way it ought to be |
| I’m ready! |
| I’m ready now! |
| Oh, how gently we’ll talk |
| Oh, how softly we’ll tread |
| All the stings |
| 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? |
| Okay, then |
| I’m ready |
| I’m ready now |
| Someone— |
| I’m ready! |
