Why Did You Marry - Nataly Dawn

Why did you marry

Oh why did you marry

You could’ve been an actress

You could’ve been a doctor

You could’ve been somebody people wish they knew

Why did you marry

Oh why did you marry

Did no one ever tell you to fly to the moon

To not get tied down too soon

To shop around

Oh all the places you’d go

All the folks you’d meet

They’d say, «Honey you’ve still got it.»

But no that was twenty-some odd years ago

Today you’re just getting by

You’re just getting by

Why did you marry

Oh why did you marry

Did somebody convince you

Through sermons and psalms

That you could be happy

Just taggin along

Oh all the places you’d go

All the folks you’d meet

They’d say, «Honey thank God you didn’t

End up like all of the other girls

On your street.»

They’re just getting by

They’re just getting by

But I think that I know

Yes I know why you married

It’s just like in the movies

The novels and plays

Where no one ever says

«Thanks Cary Grant but I think I’ll just

Get my own place.»

Oh all the places you’d go

All the folks you’d meet

They’d say.

«Honey, you’ve still got it

And guess what we’ve all got it too

So pull up a seat

We’re just getting by

We’re just getting by.»
