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 you'd go all the folks
You meet, they'll say that honey you still got it
But know that was 20's some march years ago
Today you're just getting by
You're just getting by
Why did you marry, oh why did you marry
Did somebody convinced you through ... and songs
That you could be happy
Just tagging along
All the places you'd go all the folks you'd meet
They'd say honey thank god you didn't end up
Like all of the other girls on your street
They're just getting by, they're just getting by
But I think that I know yes I know why you marry
It's just like in the movies and ...plays
Where no one ever says, thanks carry grant
But I think I'll jus get my own place
Oh all the places you'd go all the folks
You meet, they'll say that honey you still got it
And guess what, we've all got it too
So pull off a seat
We're just getting by, we're just getting by
