Marry Me a Little
[BOBBIE, spoken]
Jamie! You know what we should do?

[JAMIE, spoken]
What's that?

[BOBBIE, spoken] We should get married
You said it before, we're... we're just alike. Why don't we, Jamie?

[JAMIE, spoken]
Why don't we? Bobbie?

Bobbie, how have you been?
Stop by on your way home
Bobbie, we've been thinking of you...
[JAMIE, spoken]
Thank you, Bobbie. It's just that you have to want to marry somebody, not just some body

[FRIENDS]
Bobbie come on over for dinner, we'll be so glad to see you
Bobbie come on over for dinner, it'll just be the three of us
Only the three of us!
We loooove you!

[BOBBIE]
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 ought to 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?
Okay, 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 ought to be
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 ought to be
I'm ready!
I'm ready now!
Oh, how gently we'll talk
Oh, how softly we'll tread
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?
Okay, then
I'm ready
I'm ready now
Someone -
I'm ready!
I'm ready
I'm ready
I'm -
I'm -
