Face the Music movie - I Don't Wanna Be Married ( I Just Wanna Be Friends ) lyrics

rate me

Song by Irving Berlin<br /><br>

[Verse:]<br>

[Pickles:]<br>

You're compromising me<br>

But that's exactly as it ought to be<br>

I simply fell for you because I wanted to fall<br>

Don't speak of wedding chimes<br>

Because we mustn't be behind the times<br>

Besides a wedding isn't necessary at all<br>

<br>

[1st refrain:]<br>

Don't worry because I fell<br>

You don't have to do right by Nell<br>

'Cause I don't wanna be married, I just wanna be friends<br>

<br>

Don't worry 'cause I gave in<br>

Best of families live in sin<br>

'Cause they don't wanna be married, they just wanna be friends<br>

<br>

While all the happy married couples sit and fight<br>

We'll be still going strong<br>

And fifty million Frenchmen say it's quite alright<br>

And that many can't be wrong<br>

<br>

I never would change my name<br>

Even after the baby came<br>

'Cause I don't wanna be married, I just wanna be friends<br>

<br>

[2nd refrain:]<br>

[Joe:]<br>

My father would give me hell<br>

If I didn't do right by Nell<br>

But I don't wanna be married, I just wanna be friends<br>

<br>

Please grant me my father's wish<br>

Shotgun weddings are just his dish<br>

I don't wanna be married, I just wanna be friends<br>

<br>

The kiddies wouldn't like it, they'd be awfully mad<br>

'Twould be known near and far<br>

To be a little "who's-this" isn't really bad<br>

For some of my best friends are<br>

<br>

If not for the family<br>

Make an hon'rable man of me!<br>

But I don't wanna be married, I just wanna be friends<br>

<br>
