Lyrics Marriage - Peter Allen

I don't want a wife to speak of
Honey, with you on my week off
Rules like that don't apply to me and you
Our arrangement must be looser
It's only that I've grown used to having you around
To keep me whole

If I waited for your dinner
Darling, I'd be much thinner
But I'm old enough to feed myself
Something else is cooking, baby
I'm a man and you're my lady
And that's enough for me
To keep me whole

So don't try to live your childhood dreams
Of movies you might have known
'Cause right here is all we really have
And the golden days of Hollywood are gone

I don't think that love and marriage
Should be like a horse and carriage
Hitched up together to pull our lifetime through
Oh, as long as we have love to mould us
No way to pigeon-hole us
Keep laughing when we're wrong
Let the smile start
Separately we're strong
Though the miles part

Two people who just happen to make each other whole
