Why Did You Marry Lyrics - How I Knew Her - Nataly Dawn

Why did you marry? 

Oh why did you marry? 

You could have been an actress 

You could have been a doctor 

You could have been somebody 

people wish they knew 

Why did you marry? 

Oh why did you marry? 

Did no one ever tell you 

To fly to the moon 

To not get tied down too soon 

To shop around 

Oh all the places youd go 

All the folks youd meet 

Theyd say, Honey, youve still got it! 

But no, that was twenty-some-odd years ago 

Today youre just getting by 

Youre just getting by 

Why did you marry? 

Oh why did you marry? 

Did somebody convince you 

Through sermons and psalms 

That you could be happy 

Just tagging along 

Oh all the places youd go 

All the folks youd meet 

Theyd say, Honey, thank god you 

didnt end up like all of the other 

girls on your street 

Theyre just getting by 

Theyre just getting by 

But I think that I know 

Yes I know why you married 

Its just like in the movies 

The novels and plays 

Where no one ever says, 

Thanks Cary Grant, but I think 

Ill just get my own place 

Oh all the places youd go 

All the folks youd meet 

Theyd say, Honey, youve still got it 

and guess what, weve all got it too 

So pull up a seat 

Were just getting by 

Were just getting by
