Irving Berlin

I Don't Wanna Be Married, I Just Wanna Be Friends
[Verse:] [Pickles:] You're compromising me But that's exactly as it ought to be I simply fell for you because I wanted to fall Don't speak of wedding chimes Because we mustn't be behind the times Besides a wedding isn't necessary at all [1st refrain:] Don't worry because I fell You don't have to do right by Nell 'Cause I don't wanna be married, I just wanna be friends Don't worry 'cause I gave in Best of families live in sin 'Cause they don't wanna be married, they just wanna be friends While all the happy married couples sit and fight We'll be still going strong And fifty million Frenchmen say it's quite alright And that many can't be wrong I never would change my name Even after the baby came 'Cause I don't wanna be married, I just wanna be friends Songtexte [2nd refrain:] [Joe:] My father would give me hell If I didn't do right by Nell But I don't wanna be married, I just wanna be friends Please grant me my father's wish Shotgun weddings are just his dish I don't wanna be married, I just wanna be friends The kiddies wouldn't like it, they'd be awfully mad 'Twould be known near and far To be a little "who's-this" isn't really bad For some of my best friends are If not for the family Make an hon'rable man of me! But I don't wanna be married, I just wanna be friends Aus Songtexte Mania
