Marry You
Lea Michele and Glee Cast Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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,
Well I know this little chapel on the boulevard we can go,
No one will know,
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 this dancing juice?
Who cares baby,
I think I wanna marry you.
I'll go get a ring let the choir bells sing like ooh,
So whatcha wanna do?
Let's just run girl.
If we wake up and we 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
Just say I do,
Tell me right now baby.
Tell me right now baby, baby.
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.
The lyrics of "Marry You" by Lea Michele and Glee Cast paint a picture of a spontaneous, lighthearted, and carefree moment of love. It starts by depicting the beauty of the night and how the characters are looking for something "dumb" to do. Then, the singer turns to their beloved and expresses the desire to marry them, mentioning the possibility of heading to a nearby chapel and exchanging vows, even if it's just for the fun of it.
The lines "I think I wanna marry you" and "who cares if we're trashed" indicate that the decision to get married is not a serious or careful one. Instead, it's a wild and irrational impulse to follow their hearts and enjoy the moment. The chorus repeats the idea that the night is beautiful and that there's nothing more important than taking the plunge into marriage, even if it's just pretend. The song keeps up the fun, joyful mood by adding a ring and choir bells to the scene and ending with an invitation to say "I do."
Overall, "Marry You" is a romantic and playful song that captures the essence of a spontaneous and carefree love. It's a fun reminder that sometimes the best moments in life come when we let go of expectations and follow our hearts.

The Nerder 2000 EX
All time favorite Glee performance. Everyone was so happy and it was so upbeat. Not to mention the fact that everyone sang beautifully. The choreography was on point too; pretty much all around just incredible😍
Melanie Marcano
The Nerder 2000 Agreed
D S
Same ♡♡
Kim
This is my favorite performance, I love the couples, song, how they all sang it so cute and adorable the choreography everything is perfect 😭♥️
Cansu Kurt
This is one of the perfectest scenes of Glee. Everything is just so good. Finn and Rachel, Quinn and Sam and I’ve always loved Brittany and Artie’s relationship also Santana and Puck would have been a really hot couple,Kurt and Mercedes’s friendship is goals and Tina and Mike are also so cute together.Everything just seems perfect.I really love this scene but i also think that they could have done this at Will’s wedding too,anyway this scene is awesome. edit: it’d has been even better if Blaine was in here too.
Savii edge
I think Puck and Santana would've had so much potential if they actually tried
hop off my dick
i always liked the mercedes/sam dynamic, but quinn and sam are really sweet too
Savii edge
Emily Katherine i mean if they we're an actual couple. When they were hooking up they would only acknowledge each other when mentioning the hook up or when Santana was making rude comments
Glacier Girly
Omg yessss
Joya Johnson
this is one of the best wedding entrances ever, it’s just so sweet and full of joy😭
