Matrimony lyrics

well, i`m saving this dress for my wedding day
momma wouldn`t have it any other way
she says when she married, her waist was twenty three
i guess i`ll never wear it anyway
i don`t believe i care to marry
though i cannot explain exactly why
it somehow seems to me that matrimony is misery
simply a faster way to die

i`m saving all my money for my wedding day
you know my momma wouldn`t have it any other way
she says when she married, she didn`t` have a dime
but i guess i`ll spend that money some other way

because i don`t believe i care to marry
though i cannot explain exactly why
it somehow seems to me that matrimony is misery
simply a faster way to die

well, i`m saving my best thing for my wedding day
because my poppa wouldn`t have it any other way
he says if i lose it early, i`ll have thrown my life away
but i swear i`ll use my cherry my own way

i don`t believe i care to marry
though i cannot explain exactly why
it somehow seems to me that matrimony is misery
simply a faster way to die.
