Lyrics
I would never tell you marry
If you found yourself in love
and saw that love returned
That's no one else's business
So why would you be signing up a contract with the world
So long as you don't marry
You will always have the freedom and choice to be in love
If you sign up for the preacher
When love's emotions are taking control
You've bought legal involvements
If your love dies and bitterness is the toll
Marriage institution completo madness
Is killing off the only true law of love
