Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hey baby, I think I wanna marry you
Is it the look in your eyes, or is it this dancing juice
Who cares baby, I think I wanna marry you
Well I know this little chapel on the boulevard
We can go
No one will knowOh, c'mon girl
Who cares if we're trashed
Got a pocket full of cash we can blow
Shots of Patron
And it's on girl
Don't say no, no, no, no no
Just say yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, yeah
And we'll go, go, go go, go
If you're ready, like I'm ready
'Cause it's a beautiful night, we're looking for something dumb to do
Hey baby, I think I wanna marry you
Is it the look in your eyes or is it this dancing juice
Who cares baby, I think I wanna marry you
Oh
I'll go get a ring
Let the choir bell sing like, ooh
So what you wanna do?
Let's just run girl
If we wake up and you wanna break up
That's cool
No, I won't blame you
Uh, it was fun girl
Don't say no, no, no, no no
Just say yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, yeah
And we'll go, go, go go, go
If you're ready, like I'm ready
'Cause it's a beautiful night, we're looking for something dumb to do
Hey baby, I think I wanna marry you
Is it the look in your eyes, or is it this dancing juice
Who cares baby, I think I wanna marry you
Just say I do
Tell me right now baby
Tell me right now baby, baby
Just say I do
Tell me right now baby
Tell me right now baby, baby
Oh
It's a beautiful night, we're looking for something dumb to do
Hey baby, I think I wanna marry you
Is it the look in your eyes, or is it this dancing juice
Who cares baby, I think I wanna marry you
Bruno Mars's song "Marry You" is all about taking advantage of a beautiful night and doing something a little wild and foolish with the one you love. The song opens with the line, "It's a beautiful night, we're looking for something dumb to do." The singer is feeling carefree and looking for an adventure, and he has his sights set on marriage. He tells his partner, "Hey baby, I think I wanna marry you," and he's not too concerned about the reasons why. Perhaps it's the look in her eyes or the alcohol they've been sipping, but he's willing to take the chance.
The song takes us on a journey to a little chapel on the boulevard where the couple can secretly tie the knot. The singer is feeling daring and impulsive and doesn't care if they're a little drunk or have a pocket full of cash to blow. He's all in, and he encourages his partner to be as well. The song is both romantic and irreverent, a lighthearted anthem to taking chances and doing something a little wild and crazy with the one you love.
Overall, "Marry You" is a nostalgic nod to the idea of eloping with someone you love, eschewing tradition and following your heart. It's a fun, upbeat song that celebrates spontaneity and love in all its forms.

@CygnusDoesThings
so when i was younger, my mum and my dad had this as their song.
as the kids, me and my brother called it the snowman song because there was a snowman on the thumbnail of the video that played it! we even made our own little children coreography and performed it for their anniversary.
flash forward... 8 years?
mum and dad are on pretty tense terms, but wanting to keep the relationship intact. our whole family is struggling.
this song brings back memories.
