Let's Get Married
Love, Lies, and Life: Juliana Hatfield's Candid Take on Marriage
Lyrics
I think I love you
I feel a strong affection for you
They think I'm desperate
People perceive me as overly eager or needy
Give me the ring
Propose to me with a ring
C'mon let's prove it
Lets take action to prove our love
Let's get married
Expressing a desire to get married
And ride away
Suggesting a romantic escape after marriage
Let's get married
Reiteration of the desire to get married
And rot away
Acknowledging that marriage might lead to stagnation or decay
Torture the bridesmaids
Humorous reference to the challenges of wedding planning
Make them wear lime green
Suggesting unconventional bridesmaid attire
Lie to the pastor
Proposing deception during the wedding ceremony
Promise forever
Making a commitment to eternal love
Let's get married
Reiteration of the desire to get married
And rot away
Acknowledging potential negative consequences of marriage
Let's get married
Expressing a desire to get married despite potential challenges
And rot away
Highlighting the possible decay or deterioration in marriage
I'm almost thirty
Expressing concern about age and the desire for commitment
When are you gonna give me a baby?
Asking for a commitment to starting a family
Let's get a doggie
Suggesting getting a pet as a precursor to parenthood
And tie it to a chain
Symbolizing the responsibilities and constraints of family life
Fight over TV
Anticipating conflicts in domestic life
My headache grows
Expressing the stress and strain of a relationship
I'll show you sides of me
Hinting at revealing less pleasant aspects of oneself
You'd never want to know
Anticipating potential discomfort in the relationship
Fight over dinner
Expecting disagreements over daily life matters
Put on weight
Referencing potential changes in appearance and lifestyle
If you change your sweatpants
Suggesting a willingness to compromise for the relationship
I'll shave my legs
Expressing a humorous and light-hearted willingness to adapt
