What is marriage really ?

You know I don't believe in marriage

Well not in the tradition

I don't think it's a goal

Or one of life's missions

Or something that you do

When you feel your life has gone missing

Or when you got a lot of bills

That you need some assist with

I don't think its something you do

When your in a certain religion

Or some move that you make

To further your commitment

Why do I have to sign a paper

Just for us to go the distance

I want to be with you for life

I don't have to walk down an isle to admit it

I wont change my last name

Cause im not your property

You may not get it right now

But can you see it my way possibly ?

I shouldn't have to do the extra

For you to acknowledge me

Im sick of everybody around me

Telling me who I gotta be

My love is worth more than a ring

Or some pearly white dress

You can't set my love up in a church

Like its some kind of project

You can't tax my love

And make it one of your fees

My type of love is too strong

Itll make you get down on my BOTH knees

I shouldn't have to beg

I shouldn't have to plead

I know im worth it all

I have everything that you need

You mean I have to go through a court

Just to prove my love

And use the petty excuse

Of "you doing it in front of the one above"

You know that im yours

And i know that your mine

Im completely happy with you

I guess that'll show over time

Ill always love you

You should trust that

And if most people did

They wouldn't have to sign a contract
