When the kisses get so long
That you can't catch your breath,
And the hugging gets so strong
That's got you scared to death,

Most people get married, (married)
That's what they do,
Most people get married,
And that's what I wanna do with you!

When you only wanna walk (walk) together,
Only wanna talk (talk) together,
Only want to touch (touch) too much,
You never wanna say goodnight,

Most people get married, (married)
That's what they do,
I wanna get married,
And I hope you wanna do it too!

When you light up like a flame
Each time your baby calls,
And the way he says your name
Has got you climbin' walls,

Most people get married, (married)
That's what they do,
Most people get married,
And that's what I wanna do with you!

When you're feelin' in your heart
What I've been reelin' in your heart,
Like I reel and you wanna shout "Look out!",
Somethin's gotta give tonight!

Most people get married, (married)
That's what they do,
I wanna get married,
And I hope you wanna do it too!
I wanna get married,
And I hope you wanna do it too!
I wanna get married,
And that's what we're gonna do!
