Marry me a little
Cyrille Aimee Lyrics

Marry me a little,
Propose to me, but only show me a moderate amount of affection.

Love me just enough.
Love me to the right extent, not too much or too little.

Cry, but not too often,
Express your emotions, but not excessively.

Play, but not too rough.
Have fun, but don't take things too far.

Keep a tender distance
Maintain an emotional distance to preserve our freedom and independence.

So we'll both be free.
So we can both live our lives without being tied down or feeling trapped.

That's the way it ought to be.
This is the ideal way to approach a relationship, in our opinion.

I'm ready!
I'm prepared and willing to enter into this sort of arrangement.

Marry me a little,
Reiterating the proposal.

Do it with a will.
Go ahead and commit to me wholeheartedly.

Make a few demands
Ask for what you want from me.

I'm able to fulfill.
I am capable of meeting those demands.

Want me more than others,
Desire me above all other options, but not exclusively.

Not exclusively.
You should have other options, but still choose me as a top candidate.

That's the way it ought to be.
Again asserting that this is the best way to approach a relationship.

I'm ready!
Once again affirming readiness and willingness to pursue this type of partnership.

I'm ready now!
Urgently emphasizing complete readiness and enthusiasm for this type of relationship.

Someone--
Addressing an unidentified listener or potential partner who might be interested in this arrangement.

Marry me a little,
Reiterating the proposal a third time, suggesting unease or desperation.

Love me just enough.
Once again establishing the desired level of affection.

Warm and sweet and easy,
Describing the type of love and relationship desired, one that is comfortable and low-pressure.

Just the simple stuff.
No need for extravagance or complex demands.

Keep a tender distance
Reiterating the desired emotional boundaries in this type of relationship.

So we'll...
So we can both live freely and happily in this arrangement.
