Nataly Dawn - Why Did You Marry

Why did you marry?

Oh, why did you marry?

You could have been an actress

You could have been a doctor

You could have been somebody

People wish they knew

Why did you marry?

Oh, why did you marry?

Did no one ever tell you

To fly to the moon,

To not get tied down too soon,

To shop around?

Oh all the places youd go

All the folks youd meet

Theyd say, Honey, youve still got it!

But no, that was twenty-some-odd years ago

Today youre just getting by

Youre just getting by

Why did you marry?

Oh, why did you marry?

Did somebody convince you

Through sermons and psalms

That you could be happy

Just tagging along

Oh all the places youd go

All the folks youd meet

Theyd say, Honey, thank God you didnt

End up like all of the other

Girls on your street

Theyre just getting by

Theyre just getting by

But I think that I know

Yes I know why you married

Its just like in the movies

The novels and plays

Where no one ever says,

Thanks Cary Grant,

But I think Ill just get my own place

All the places youd go

All the folks youd meet

Theyd say, Honey, youve still got it

And guess what, weve all got it too

So pull up a seat

Were just getting by

Were just getting by
