I Want To Get Married
King Crimson · Other Songs - King Crimson
But no woman will hear my plea
I want to get married
But no woman will hear my plea
Yes, it seems somehow
I can't get one to walk downthe aisle with me
Well, i've only been in love
But three times in my life
Yes, the first, i couldn't satisfy her
But i've only been in love three times in my life
Yes, the second one was a juice-head
And the third was another man's wife
Yeah, they say "join the navy
If you really wanna see the world"
Well, but i say "join b.b. king
Baby if you really want to be loved"
Aw, my time is gone
Babe and i really must say goodbye
Aw, my time is gone
Babe and i really must say goodbye
So you women better watch out
I must have that wife before i die
