So sit back and listen
Hey Miss Beloved, we are gathered here
To join each other hand in hand
No more playing house, no
'Cause I wanna make it real, do you understand?
To have and to hold, mmm-hmm
No one, no one could ever interrupt the beats of our hearts
'Cause this is gonna last
Forever and ever and ever and ever (mmm-hmm)
And ever and ever and ever (this is gonna last forever)
And ever, forever and ever and ever (ooh, forever)
And ever and ever and ever (and ever)
And ever and ever
Now, there's no one here to speak out
And interrupt this ceremony, oh baby, yeah (baby, just say)
All you gotta do is say (you love me)
Say that you love me and we will walk
And we will walk down the aisle, watching the people smile (yeah)
Flowers are everywhere (everywhere)
Nothing else can compare
Girl, you've got the kind of love that makes a man like me wanna settle down
A picket fence and a house, yeah
Forever and ever and ever and ever (ever)
And ever and ever and ever (ooh yeah)
And ever, forever and ever and ever
And ever and ever and ever (forever)
Girl, I'm down on my knees
(So what's it gonna be? What's it gonna be? What's it gonna be) Talk to me, baby

Forever and ever and ever and ever (forever, baby, you and me, baby)
And ever and ever and ever (I will be your man, you will be my lady)
And ever, forever and ever and ever (we'll walk hand in hand, side by side)
And ever and ever and ever (I will be the perfect groom)
And ever and ever (you're the perfect bride, woulda just think about it, baby?)
Forever and ever and ever and ever (think about it, baby)
And ever and ever and ever (you and me will be together, girl, rain, sleet, snow)
And ever, forever and ever and ever (no matter what the weather, just think about it, baby?)
And ever and ever and ever (think about it, girl)
(We'll be making love for eternity, raise a family)
And ever and ever
Girl, I'm on my knees saying
(Marry me) Marry me
(Marry me) 'Cause I love you, baby
(Marry me) There's no other, baby
(Marry me) For you, baby
(Marry me) Said a picket fence

You cooking me breakfast in the morning, I'm taking the garbage out

Marry me, marry me (hey)
Marry me, marry me
Marry me, marry me (oh, oh, oh)
