So, you, you say you wanna be married.
I'm gonna change your mind.
(Spoken) That was the good sides, baby ... here comes the bad sides...

Ten years they've been married,
and thousand kids run around hungry        [alternately: ...a hundred kids...]
'cause their mother's a louse.
Daddy's down at the whisky house.
That ain't all.

For three years they've been married
They don't get along so good.
They're tired of each other, you know how that goes.
Huh! Same old thing!

So now you're seventeen,
running around, hanging out ... having your fun.
Life for you has just begun, baby!

And then you come saying,
so you, you say; you wanna be married?
Oh, baby, trying to put me on a chain.
Ain't that some shame.
You must be loosing your ... shh-mm ... sweet little mind
I ain't ready yet, baby, I ain't ready.
I'm gonna change your mind.
Ow, look out!
Ow!
I ain't ready to get tied down,
I ain't ready now.
Let me live a little while longer,
Let me live!
Let me live a little while longer!
Shh, so if you finished talking delicate thinkin' mind,
groove.
