Prince - The Marrying Kind Lyrics

If you leave her now
You're never goin' to see her again, never
Now she's gonna need a shoulder to cry on
She's gonna need a friend
She's gonna need a pillowcase
Something to put those tears on
And I've got some purple satin lacies
One seond later then the second your gone

She's gonna miss you at first
But then she's gonna buy me things
That's when I'm gonna lay her
Cross my piano stool and sing to her

[chorus]
Honey, I tried to tell him
That you were the marrying kind
A faithful one-man woman
The best he would ever find
I guess he wasn't trying to hear that
So there ain't nothing left to say
I tried to tell him if you run to me
I won't run away

If you leave her now
You'll never get another glimpse
I'm goin' to lace her with enough ice to recap the poles
There might be another solar eclipse
She's gonna find out what I like in my eggs
Bath water hot enough to be touched (oh man, porkchop is hurtin')
I'm gonna put her on the same diet Missy went on
You know, she eat too much
Tonight, she's gonna miss you at first
But then she'll get used to me
All of the tricks I would try
To make her take this ring and make love to me

[chorus]

Run away
Don't run away
