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 oughta 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? ok 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 oughta be
 I'm ready
 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 oughta be
 I'm ready
 I'm ready now
 Oh how gently we'll talk
 Oh how softly we'll tred
 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? ok then
 I'm ready
 I'm ready now
 Someone
 I'm ready
