Let's NOT Get Married, Baby

Let’s NOT get married, baby
Let’s just be good friends
Oh, let’s NOT get married, baby
Let’s just be good friends
Let’s not wreak the good thing
Make the same mistakes again

Let’s NOT get married, baby
Let’s just have a great time,
Let’s NOT get married, baby
Let’s just have a great time
An’ you can keep your precious freedom
An’ you can bet I’ll cherish mine!

Yeah you were married once…
He broke your heart
Spendin’ all your money down
He ran all over TOWN, baby,
He played ya LIKE A SONG…
Then he had the nerve to leave ya,
‘Cause ya WOULDN’T PLAY ALONG…

Oh, let’s NOT get married, baby
Let’s just FOOL around, oh
Let’s NOT get married, baby
Let’s just FOOL around
Ain’ no sense ta be impulsive
‘Til we KNOW wat’s goin’ down

‘Cause I was married once
It didn’t work out…
She slept in my pajamas an’
I SLEPT ON THE COUCH…
A livin’ doll but her legs were crossed
An exquisite piece of jewelry,
Man’ I really paid the cost

Let’s NOT get married, baby
I guess we never learn, oh
Let’s NOT get married, baby
I guess we never learn,
It don’t make SENSE ta play with matches
If ya know it’s gonna burn

Well, I don’t need no church girls
Don’ need no bobby sox…
I jus’ need me a woman who’s
BEEN AROUND THE BLOCK
Let’s just be REAL good friends
It ain’ no good ta be impulsive
Make the same mistakes again
