Til Death Do Us Part
The Kinks · Other Songs - The Kinks
How can I show you
And let you see
That I am someone
That you want me to be
I'm only me
Not someone better
Not someone good
I'd be a soldier
That's if I only could
If I were king
I'd tell my army
To change the world
Then I'd be someone
Like you want me to be
In my little life
I know that the world must keep on turning
Even though it leaves me far behind
Life is like a school
But I'm not prepared to keep on learning
Even though it treats me like a fool
This is our lot
To live together
Not live apart
Let's stay together
'Til death us do part
Not just a day
But till forever
Just as the stars
Just as the ending
'Til death us do part
