BETROTHAL SONG
You take her by the reigns, show her your the boss, you're the one in charge
In every little thing always be prepared, always on your guard
You tell her you're the man, make her understand where the line is drawn
Then she'll worship every step of the very ground that you walk upon
You must never let her think that she has got you where wants you
You must show her youre the man without a doubt
Now you know what marriage is about
Hell tell you he's the boss, tell you he's in charge, tell you he's the man
Well let him say it loud, always nod your head like you understand
When he gets a big idea let him go ahead try with all his might
But when he turns his head then you go ahead and you make it right
Plant your thoughts inside him carefully and let him think he's in the lead
Let him think that hes the man without a doubt
Now you know what marriage is about
Oh but you dont understand, hes everything to me
Shes the moon the stars, my world, the very air I breathe
Shes all I need, hes all I need
You always walk ahead make her walk behind thats where she belongs
You let him walk ahead that will make him think he is big and strong
When theres problems to be solved make decisions fast never show your fear
When you see a task at hand he wont understand whisper in his ear
Let her know that you are always right, never let him leave the house at night
You must show him youre the man without a doubt
Let him think that hes the man without a doubt
Now you know what marriage is about
Oh but you dont understand our love will see us through
We will show the world just what true love can really do
Mary I love you, Joseph I love you
You take her by the reigns, show her your the boss, you're the one in charge
Hell tell you he's the boss, tell you he's in charge, tell you he's the man
In every little thing always be prepared, always on your guard
Well let him say it loud, always nod your head like you understand
You tell her you're the man, make her understand where the line is drawn
When he gets a big idea let him go ahead try with all his might
Then she'll worship every step of the very ground that you walk upon
But when he turns his head then you go ahead and you make it right
Let her know that you are always right, never let him leave the house at night
You must show her youre the man without a doubt
Let him think that hes the man without a doubt
Now you know what marriage is about
