"The Marrying Kind" lyrics

"The Marrying Kind"

Sitting in a Key West bar, here I am
There they are, hanging from the rafters
Like monkeys
Watch 'em gather 'round, it's a primal sound
"Can I buy you another round or get your number?"
Check, please
They try to touch my heart but they move way too fast
Just another night of foreplay in a shot glass

Where do I find the marrying kind?
The kind of guy who'll settle down
Who ain't afraid to be tied down
And he loves his mother
Where do I find the marrying kind?
Whoa oh, whoa oh
Whoa oh, whoa oh

The lawyer with the crooked tie
College boys with hungry eyes looking for the next notch
On their bedpost
The doctor from Baltimore; kinda cute
Twice divorced, trying to score
But me, I want something more
Well, I don't want to be the last to leave the party
Well, I wanna know is it me? Oh where is he?

Where do I find the marrying kind?
The kind of guy who'll settle down
Who ain't afraid to be tied down
And he loves his mother
Where do I find the marrying kind?
Oh
Whoa, whoa oh

Classifieds, date lines... safer sex online
My biological clock's playing with my life
Average Joes, reality shows
I don't know
Just when I think I've found the man of my dreams
I realize, he's only in my dreams

Where do I find the marrying kind?
Oh, the kind of guy who'll settle down
Who ain't afraid to be tied down
And he loves his mother
Where do I find
Where do I find the marrying kind?
Oh, whoa
Oh, whoa

Sitting in a Key West bar, here I am
There they are, hanging from the rafters
Like monkeys
