My father sits at night with no lights on
His cigarette glows in the dark.
The living room is still; I walk by, no remark.

I tiptoe past the master bedroom where
My mother reads her magazines.
I hear her call: "sweet dreams,"But I forgot how to dream.

But you say it's time we moved in together
And raised a family of our own, you and me -
Well, that's the way I've always heard it should be:
You want to marry me, we'll marry.

My friends from college they're all married now;
They have their houses and their lawns.
They have their silent noons, Tearful nights, angry dawns.

Their children hate them for the things they're not;
They hate themselves for what they are-
And yet they drink, they laugh, Close the wound, hide the scar.

But you say it's time we moved in together
And raised a family of our own, you and me -
Well, that's the way I've always heard it should be:
You want to marry me: we'll marry.

You say we can keep our love alive
Babe - all I know is what I see -
The couples cling and claw, And drown in love's debris.

You say we'll soar like two birds through the clouds,
But soon you'll cage me on your shelf -
I'll never learn to be just me first, By myself.

Well O.K., it's time we moved in together
And raised a family of our own, you and me -
Well, that's the way I've always heard it should be,
You want to marry me: we'll marry(-ry-y).
