Why Must He Be Married?

It's a very tiny thing that keeps us apart,
That keeps the flame from being properly fanned;
It's a very tiny thing that keeps us apart---
It's just a wedding band
On someone else's hand.

Why must he be married?
Why must he be wed?
Why must he fall asleep
In someone else's bed?

What caused him to marry?
Was it some kind of whim?
I met his wife one day,
And she's all wrong for him.

Meetings so clandestine,
Do the neighbors know?
Almost feel undressed in
The places that I go.

But still I keep clinging
Like a drowning man to straws;
Why must he be married?
Because...because...because...
