Marry You
Clapton Eric & King B.B. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Kind I'd like to meet
You at midnight
And tell no one else about it.
I'm going to make you mine
'Cause I know we've got the time
Now and then, baby.
[Chorus:]
I want to marry you.
Isn't that what you want, too?
I want to marry you.
Isn't that what you want, too?
Come on in the back of the '57.
Let me show you the way, the way to heaven.
You're looking so sweet, yes you are.
I'm sure that you've got some heat.
I've got you on my mind
You know you've got my time
Now and then, baby.
Hey, I want you to know,
[Chorus]
I'm falling in love with you.
You make all my dreams come true.
I'm falling in love with you.
[Chorus: x2]
The lyrics to the song Marry You by Eric Clapton and B.B. King are about a man who is completely smitten with a woman and wants to have a secret affair with her. He describes the woman as being the kind of sugar he would like to meet at midnight and not tell anyone else about it. He then proclaims that he wants to make her his own because he knows they have time for a relationship. In the chorus, the man expresses his desire to marry the woman, asking if that is what she wants too. The song continues with the man inviting the woman to the back of his 1957 car, where he can show her heaven. He describes the physical attraction he has for her and acknowledges that he is falling in love with her.
The lyrics are candid in their expression of the man's feelings for the woman. He portrays himself as a romantic who sees the woman as more than just a one-night stand. While he is seeking a secret affair, the man is also open to the possibility of a long-term relationship with the woman. The song's melody and Clapton and King's guitar solos give the lyrics a bluesy feel, complementing the raw emotion of the lyrics.
