Bruce Springsteen - I Wanna Marry You Lyrics






I see you walking, baby, down the street
Pushing that baby carriage at your feet
I see that lonely ribbon in your hair
Tell me am I the man for whom you put it there

You never smile girl, you never speak
You just walk on by, darlin', week after week
Raising two kids alone in this mixed up world
Must be a lonely life for a working girl

Little girl, I wanna marry you
Oh yeah, little girl, I wanna marry you
Yes I do
Little girl, I wanna mary you

Now, honey, I don't wanna clip your wings
But a time comes when two people should think of these things
Having a home and a family
Facing up to their responsibilities
They say in the end true love prevails
But in the end true love can't be no fairytale
To say I'll make your dreams come true would be wrong
But maybe, darlin', I could help them along

Little girl, I wanna marry you
Oh yeah, little girl, I wanna marry you
Yes I do
Little girl, I wanna mary you

My daddy said right before he died
That true, true love was just a lie
He went to his grave a broken heart
An unfulfilled life, makes a man hard

Oh darlin'
There's something happy and there's something sad
'Bout wanting somebody, oh so bad,
I wear my love darlin', without shame
I'd be proud if you would wear my name

    RIP Clarence Clemons

  49. j.... ....

    Amazing song, like all his songs. I'm only 13 and I grew up loving Bruce and his music. I have to say, I have only been to two concerts overall in my life, and they were all Bruce concerts. The first one was the last time the E Street band performed in Giants Stadium, and the second was during the Wrecking Ball concert, and was the first time performing in the new Giants Stadium. Also, it was the first time in Giants Stadium without Clarence Clemons

  50. r.... ....

    I always thought the River was an overrated album. Bought it to listen to in the car....all I can say wtf was I thinking?????? I LOVE this song and the album is up there with Born to Run and Darkness.

  51. M.... G....

    grande!!bello sentirlo dire da un uomo...anch'io penso a quel momento

  52. m.... ....

    I am 17 and have the record for this ;)

  53. M.... M....

    I used this song to propose to my wife-we'll be married 22 years this Sunday!

  54. t.... h....

    こんな、感じいいな。

  55. d.... t....

    bellissima canzone e quando la senti nel film Venuto al Mondo allora si che le lacrime scendono!!

  56. s.... w....

    To me, this song has a Drifters' feel, which is one of the reasons I love his music.

  57. C.... D....

    This is the song that got me into Bruce way back when, fantastic!

  58. g.... b....

    best love song ever!!!!

  59. g.... ....

    Your already married...to me.

  60. G.... V....

    Clarence, will ALWAYS be the best, love ya man!! R.I.P.

  61. M.... S....

    this an classic from the boss, brrrrrrrrrrruccceeee.

  62. a.... m....

    First heard "ties that bind" while passing a record shop 1980. called in and bought the album "the river" and was hooked right away. super performer and song writer. he is also brilliant live as he keeps his timing spot on. long live THE BOSS

  63. j.... ....

    See, so many people see Bruce Springsteen as just a great rocker whereas it's clear to me he can write brilliant songs in any style and about any subject. His is a brilliant writer of pop songs and can capture feelings and emotions like no other. His ability to marry a great melody with captivating and real life lyrics and for 40 years now puts him in a class of his own as fr as I am concerned.

  64. M.... ....

    An unfulfilled life girl makes a man hard...
