Marry me
I am a boy and you are a girl
Or so I've been told
I know it's the same all over the world
The story is old
I could stand to be your man
I could stand to be your man
From now on
Marry me
You are a woman I am a man
Bury me
I must die first, you understand
And I couldn't stand to be your man
I couldn't stand to be your man
I couldn't stand to be your man
Alone
Marry me
You are a girl and I am a boy
Fair is she
Why must I love what I must destroy?
I was sent to be your man
Yes I was sent to be your man
I was sent to be your man
From now on
Marry me
So we may snuff out everything we've ever cared about
I have no doubt
That this will sting; no one will be spared
Without our love,
We'd just be normal people
Marching forward
Normal people? Who?
You and me?
No it can't be!
Marry me
I am a boy and you are a girl
Or so I've been told
I know it's the same
All over the world
The story is old
