I don't want to have to marry you
I don't want to have to say I do
I want our love to be free
The way God meant love to be

I don't want to have to marry you
Just because it'd be the thing to do
I want our marriage to be strong
Something we can build upon

Every time I want you more
Than I did the time before
Can you stay with me for a while?
But I want the fire still burning bright
Darling, on our wedding night
Let's wait till we walk down the aisle

I don't want to have to marry you
I don't want to have to say I do
I want our love to be free
The way God meant love to be

Don't say you have to go
Because I want you so
I don't want to be alone
The temptation is strong
But it's all so wrong
Please stop and take me home

I don't want to have to marry you
I don't want to have to say I do
I want our love to be free
The way God meant love to be

I want our love to be free
The way God meant love to be
