Verse 1

Marry me

I am a boy and you are a girl

Or so I've been told

I know it's the same all over the world

The story is old

I could stand to be your man

I could stand to be your man

From now on

Verse 2

Marry me

You are a woman I am a man

Bury me

I must die first, you understand

And I couldn't stand to be your man

I couldn't stand to be your man

I couldn't stand to be your man

Alone

Verse 3

Marry me

You are a girl and I am a boy

Fair is she

Why must I love what I must destroy?

I was sent to be your man

Yes I was sent to be your man

I was sent to be your man

From now on

Verse 4

Marry me

So we may snuff out everything we've ever cared about

I have no doubt

That this will sting; no one will be spared

Bridge

Without our love,

We'd just be normal people

Marching forward

Normal people? Who?

You and me?

No it can't be!

Verse 5

Marry me

I am a boy and you are a girl

Or so I've been told

I know it's the same

All over the world

The story is old
