The pact
by Little Jackie
lyricscopy.com
If none of us are married
By the time we hit thirty
Then we´ll elope in vegas
And we´ll have some bratty babies
You were just read the riot act
Fact is I never forgot the pact
If you got a fall back plan understand
There´s a chance that you are gonna fall back
Holy moly matrimony
You know that it´s all bologna
Stick a ring on my middle finger
And call it macaroni
The expiration date has passed
And we´re both still single
Stressin´ about how the boat is sinkin
Come on and bail me out
Seems like you and me
Got more in common than we think
Maybe we´re meant to be
Baby we can´t commit to anybody
[Refrain]
So let´s get married even though you don´t believe
In the institution there are tax benefits
Let´s get married just to get you a green card
American citizenship
We´ll treat it like a business
Yup I´m such a romantic
You can deal with my family
You put up with my moodiness
My anziety disorder
And my PMS (PMS!)
I think your mom is cool
My dad´s got a man crush on you
And my brothers too
Think about all the tax deductions with the IRS
I learned my lesson well on my last vacation
Paddling alone in a kayak for one
Trying to keep up with the couples
I was suffering from exhaustion
Questioning why I´m terminally single is not fun
[Refrain]
So let´s get married even though you don´t believe
In the institution there are tax benefits
Let´s get married just to get you a green card
American citizenship
We had to spread our wings
To get a taste of life
Didn´t wanna let you go
But I didn´t wanna hold you back
(Hold you back)
We knew that deep down inside
We´d always love each other
So we made the pact
[Refrain x2]
So let´s get married even though you don´t believe
In the institution there are tax benefits
Let´s get married just to get you a green card
American citizenship
If none of us are married
By the time we hit thirty
Then we´ll elope in vegas
And we´ll have some bratty babies
You can really cook somethin´ up
You were born in Europe
If we ever need to flee this country
You got the hook up
It´s time for me to settle down
Time to kick the heels off
But I ain´t ever gonna move to LA
So the deal´s off
By the time we hit thirty
Then we´ll elope in vegas
And we´ll have some bratty babies
You were just read the riot act
Fact is I never forgot the pact
If you got a fall back plan understand
There´s a chance that you are gonna fall back
Holy moly matrimony
You know that it´s all bologna
Stick a ring on my middle finger
And call it macaroni
The expiration date has passed
And we´re both still single
Stressin´ about how the boat is sinkin
