Marry Me a Little (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!
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

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

Passionate as hell but always in control

Okay, then
I'm ready!
I'm ready now!
Someone
I'm ready!
