The Busters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
i thought you were lovely and nice
but after a few days out with you
i discovered you had your price
you want to get married
but i feel much too young
cruising and coupling all that things
oh, baby, don't wanna be a member of your family
oh, baby, don't wanna be your parents' son in law
oh, baby, don't wanna be the father of your kids
oh, baby
your father cleans his brand new car
at least every second day
and i bet he needs a hand
cause he's asked me to stay
your mama bought your wedding dress
your father bought a suit
i guess i'm gonna get away
although it might be rude
oh, baby, don't wanna be a member of your family
oh, baby, don't wanna be your parents' son in law
oh, baby, don't wanna be the father of your kids
oh, baby
you want to get married
but i feel much too young
cruising and coupling all that things
anything will be dead and gone
don't wanna hear sweet wedding bells
and won't wear a ring
so please get lost, it's nought for us
and shout out loud and sing
oh, baby, don't wanna be a member of your family
oh, baby, don't wanna be your parents' son in law
oh, baby, don't wanna be the father of your kids
oh, baby 3x
The song "Son In Law" by The Busters is about a man who meets a woman at the market hall and is initially smitten by her. However, after going out with her for a few days, he realizes that she has a price for everything and wants to get married while he feels too young for that commitment. He doesn't want to be a part of her family, become her parents' son in law, or be the father of her kids. He wants to continue living his life without any commitments and without having to hear wedding bells or wearing a ring.
The song is a commentary on the pressure society puts on people to get married and start families. The singer of the song doesn't want to succumb to that pressure and wants to live his life on his own terms. The lyrics are written in a light-hearted and humorous manner, with the singer sarcastically joking about how he can't handle the expectations of being a son in law.
