ROBERT:
Marry me a little, 
Love me just enough. 
Cry, but not too often, 
Play, but not too rough. 
Keep a tender distance 
so we'll both be free. 
That's the way it ought to be. 
I'm ready! 
Marry me a little, 
Do it with a will. 
Make a few demands 
I'm able to fulfill. 
Want me more than others, 
Not exclusively. 
That's the way it ought to be. 
I'm ready! 
I'm ready now! 

You can be my best friend, 
I can be your right arm. 
We'll go through a fight or two-- 
No harm, no harm. 
We'll look not too deep, 
We'll go not too far. 
We won't have to give up a thing, 
We'll stay who we are. 
Right? 
Okay, then. 
I'm ready! 
I'm ready now! 

Someone-- 
Marry me a little, 
Love me just enough. 
Warm and sweet and easy, 
Just the simple stuff. 
Keep a tender distance 
So we'll both be free. 
That's the way it ought to be. 
I'm ready! 

Marry me a little, 
Body, heart, and soul. 
Passionate as [bad word] 
But always in control. 
Want me first and foremost, 
Keep [bad word]  
That's the way it ought to be. 
I'm ready! 
I'm ready now! 

Oh, how gently we'll talk, 
Oh, how softly we'll tread. 
All the stings, 
The ugly things 
We'll keep unsaid. 
We'll build a cocoon 
Of love and respect. 
You promise whatever you like, 
I'll never collect. 
Right? 
Okay, then. 
I'm ready. 
I'm ready now. 
Someone-- 

I'm ready!
