Marry You
Jessica Childress Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We're looking for something dumb to do
Hey baby
I think I want to marry you
Is it the look in your eyes?
Or is it these dancing juice?
Who cares baby
I think I wanna marry you
No one will know
Oh come on 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 the dancing juice?
Who cares baby
I think I wanna marry you
I'll go get a ring let the choir bells sing like oooh
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
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.
The song "Marry You" by Jessica Childress is a lighthearted and fun track that tells the story of a couple who impulsively decides to get married on a whim. The song starts with the lyrics "It's a beautiful night, we're looking for something dumb to do, hey baby I think I want to marry you." This sets the tone for the rest of the song, which is about two people who are out having a good time and feeling the excitement of the moment.
The lyrics are playful and suggest that the characters are not taking the idea of marriage too seriously. They mention getting married at a little chapel on the boulevard where no one will know, and the idea of being trashed on shots of patron. It seems that the characters are not thinking too far ahead and are just living in the moment. The chorus repeats the idea of wanting to get married, but it's unclear if this is something they really want or if it's just the thrill of the moment.
Overall, the song is a fun and catchy tune with lyrics that suggest the excitement and impulsiveness of youth. It's a celebration of the moment and living in the present, even if it means doing something a little silly or impulsive.
