Prince - The Marrying Kind lyrics

If U leave her now

U're never gonna see her again (never, no, no)

She's gonna need a shoulder 2 cry on

She's gonna need a friend

She's gonna need a pillow case

Something 2 put those tears on

And Eye've got some purple satin laces

One second later than the second U're gone

She's gonna miss U at first

But then she's gonna buy me things

That's when Eye'm gonna lay her

Across my piano stool and... sing 2 her...

Chorus

"Honey, Eye tried 2 tell him

That U were the marrying kind

A faithful one-man woman

Best he would ever find

Eye guess he wasn't trying 2 hear that

So there ain't nothing left 2 say

Eye tried 2 tell him that if U run 2 me

Eye, eye won't run away."

If U leave her now

U'll never get another glimpse

Eye'm gonna lace her

With enough ice 2 recap the pole

There might be another solar eclipse

She's gonna find out

What Eye like in my eggs,

My bathwater (my bathwater)

And how eye like 2 b touched

Eye am gonna put her on

The same diet Missy went on

U know she eat 2 much U know

She's gonna miss U at first

Then she'll get used 2 me

All of the tricks Eye would try

2 make her take this ring

And make love 2 me

I tried

Honey I tried 2 tell him (that u)

That U were the marrying kind

Talkin bout a faithful

A faithful one-man woman

Best he would ever find

Best he gonna ever find

Eye guess he wasn't trying 2 hear that (He wasn't, tryin)

So there ain't nothing left 2 say (nothin left 2 say)

Eye tried 2 tell him that if U run 2 me

Eye, eye won't run away."

Run away, run away, run away. Run away
