Lyrics
Janice: Its enough that we are living together
Marnie: No its not I want to be married
Janice: Its enough to hold you in my arms
Marnie: No its not I want to be married
Janice: Its enough to spend each day with you for the rest of our lives
Marnie: Yes and no, I still want to be married
To tell the world we are together, that we are in love, we are a family
To tell the world we are committed to each other for the rest of our lives
Janice: But when I'm with you I don't need to be married
Marnie: I do
Janice: To love you
Marnie: I love you
Janice: I don't need to be married to know who we are in my heart
Marnie: You're always in my heart
Janice: I don't need to be married to give everything to you
Marnie: I give everything to you
But if we get married something will change inside
Something for the better
Something I can't name but I know in my heart
Janice: Isn't it enough that we are living together?
Marnie: No its not I want to be married
Janice: Then will you marry me? Will you share my life? Will you be my wife?
Marnie: Yes I will. Yes I will. Yes I will.
Duet: And when we are married something will change inside
Something for the better
Something I can't name but I know in my heart
