Marriage

I know you said you're ready but I'm not ready

See, marriage don't change nothing but your name

Unless it's real love, through the sunshine and the rain

For better or for worse, girl, this is not a game

See, marriage don't change nothing but your name

Girl, I been tryin' to make you understand

That I'm proud to be with you and I'm happy I'm your man

I know your mom and your pops wanna see you walk down that aisle

Askin' what's up? 'Cause it's been awhile, about seven years now

We've been together, baby, but, girl, I'm still not ready

Take it easy, don't push me away, don't wanna make a mistake

Wanna do things right, get my paper right

Wanna be 100 percent, it's with you I wanna spend my life

Marriage don't change nothing but your name (Oh, don't change, babe)

Unless it's real love, through the sunshine and the rain

For better or for worse, girl, this is not a game

See, marriage don't change nothing but your name

Marriage don't change nothing but your name

Unless it's real love, through the joy and through the pain

(Joy and through the pain, babe)

It's more than a ceremony, more than a wedding ring

A marriage won't change nothing but your name

Ever since you caught that bouquet at your friends wedding day

I been under pressure, babe (Under pressure, girl)

Now you window shop for wedding gowns and weddings bands

Picking out your bridesmaids and a theme song for the reception

I know you love me, baby, but, girl, I'm still not ready

There's so many things that you don't know about me, yeah

Even though we been together for so long

We got a long way to go, so, girl, let's take it slow

Marriage don't change nothing but your name

Unless it's real love, through the sunshine and the rain

(Unless it's real love, sunshine and the rain, yeah)

For better or for worse, girl, this is not a game

See, marriage don't change nothing but your name

Marriage don't change nothing but your name

Unless it's real love, through the joy and through the pain

It's more than a ceremony, more than a wedding ring

(More than a ceremony)

A marriage won't change nothing but your name (Name)

It's not that I can't see myself in love with you

Girl, I ain't going nowhere, let's take our time

And this ain't something that you just jump into

And marriage don't change, no

Marriage don't change nothing but your name

Unless it's real love, through the sunshine and the rain

For better or for worse, girl, this is not a game

See, marriage don't change nothing but your name

Marriage don't change nothing but your name

Unless it's real love, through the joy and through the pain

('Less it's real love, ooh)

It's more than a ceremony, more than a wedding ring

A marriage won't change nothing but your name

Marriage don't change nothing but your name

Unless it's real love (Through the joy and pain)

For better or for worse (Girl, this is not a game)

See, marriage don't change (Nothing but your name)
