Emily West, Leroy Powell - I Want to Get Married Lyrics

I want to get married
I want to have a big wedding of my own
I want to sing with the birds in the sky
with the love of my life
I want a guy ofmy own
I want to be happy
like the pictures in the magazines
where the bride wears white with happy tears in her eyes
while she’s drinking champagne

But how can I say ‘I do’
when I’m feeling so borrowed and blue
I want a kiss that feels brand new
I want the honey on a honeymoon
how can I say I do
when all the words
are so untrue
I want to get married
just not to you

If you could throw a football
over a mountain like Manning back then
If you could dance in the rain
like Gene Kelly and sing like Sinatra did
I wouldn’t need a diamond
brighter than Paul Newman‘s eyes
if you had a private plane
We’d eat tapas in Spain
I’d be a dedicated wife

How can I say ‘I do’
when I’m feeling so borrowed and blue
I want a kiss that feels brand new
I want the honey on a honeymoon
how can I say I do
when all the words
are so untrue
I want to get married
just not to you

I want my daddy to cry cause he’s got doubt in his eyes
over giving me away for good
I want my mom and her friends
to be jealous again
like when the prom king
Married the girl who wasn’t cool
back In high school

How can I say ‘I do’
when I’m feeling so borrowed and blue
I want a kiss that feels brand new
I want the honey on a honeymoon
how can I say I do
when all the words
are so untrue
I want to get married...
just not to you
I want to get married
Just not to You
