All Jokes Aside

You think this band, on my left hand



don't really mean anything to me



You think you're here just to be convenient,



and you're just around to please me.



You think you're plain, and that is so strange



'cause everyone else can sure see, that you



are truly beautiful, and you mean everything



to me.



(Chorus 1)



and all jokes aside - I want you by my side



for the rest of my life - always be my Bride



No, I ain't kiddin' around - 'til they put



me in the ground



I'll love you for all time - all jokes aside



(walk up)



Now I know that I'm not the perfect husband,



but I've done the best that I can.



Honey if that is not good enough, don't worry



'cause I'll understand.



and for everytime that I've ever hurt you,



I'll probably answer to the Man.



and my heart's full of pride, 'cause I'm



serious tonight; I just wanna keep this ring



on my hand.



(Chorus 2)



and all jokes aside - I want you by my side.



for the rest of my life - always be my Bride.



No, I ain't kiddin' around - 'til they put



me in the ground; I'll love you for all time,



and I'm serious tonight - all jokes aside.
