"The Marrying Kind" lyrics

If you leave her now
You're never gonna see her again (Never, no)
She's gonna need a shoulder to cry on
She's gonna need a friend

She's gonna need a pillow case
Something to put those tears on
And I've got some purple satin laces
One second later than the second you're gone

She's gonna miss you at first
But then she's gonna buy me things
That's when I'm gonna lay her
'Cross my piano stool and sing to her:

"Honey, I tried to tell him
That you were the marrying kind
A faithful one-man woman
The best he would ever find

I guess he wasn't trying to hear that
So there ain't nothin' left to say
I tried to tell him, if you run to me, I –
I won't run away"

If you leave her now
You'll never get another glimpse (Oh)
I'm gonna lace her with enough ice to recap the poles
There might be another solar eclipse

She's gonna find out what I like in my eggs
(My bathwater) My bathwater
(How I like to be touched) how I like to be touched
I'm gonna put her on the same diet Missy went on
You know she eat too much at night!

She's gonna miss you at first
Then she'll get used to me
All of the tricks I would try
To make her take this ring and make love to me

I tried, honey, I tried to tell him
That you were the marrying kind (Talking 'bout a faithful)
A faithful one-man woman
The best he would ever find (Best he's gon' ever find)

I guess he wasn't trying to hear that (He wasn't even tryna hear)
So there ain't nothing left to say
I tried to tell him if you run to me, I
I won't run away

(Run away)
Run away
Run away, ah... ah...
(Don't run away)
Don't run away
