Marriage

(album: Peter Allen - 1971)

I don't want a wife to speak of
Only with you on my week off
Rules like that don't apply to me and you
Our arrangement must be looser
It's only that I've grown used
To having you around to keep me whole

If I waited for your dinner
Darling I would be much thinner
But I'm old enough to feed myself
Something else is cooking baby
I'm a man and you're my lady
And that's enough for me to keep me whole

So don't try to live your childhood dreams
Of movies you might have known
Cause right here is all we really have
And the golden days of Hollywood are gone

I don't think that love and marriage
Should be like a horse and carriage
Hitched up together to pull our lifetime through
As long as we have love to mold us
There's no way to pigeonhole us
Keep laughing when we're wrong
Let the smiles start
Separately we're strong though the miles part
Two people who just happen to make
Each other whole
