Prince — The Marrying Kind

[Verse 1] If you leave her now You are never going to see her again, never Now she's going to need a shoulder to cry on She's going to need a friend She's going to need a pillow case Something to put those tears on And I've got some purple satin laces One second later than the second you're gone She's going to miss you at first But then she's gonna buy me things That's when I'm going to a lay her 'Cross my piano stool and sing to her [Chorus] Honey, I tried to tell him That you were the marrying kind A faithful one-man woman The best he would ever find I guess he wasn't trying to hear that So there ain't nothin' left to say I tried to tell him if you run to me I I won't run away [Verse 2] If you leave her now You'll never get another glimpse I'm going to lace her with enough ice to recap the polls There might be another solar eclipse She's gonna find out what I like on my eggs My bathwater, how I like to be touched I'm going to put her on the same diet Missy went on You know she eat too much Tonight, she's gonna miss you at first Then she'll get used to me All of the tricks I would try To make her take this ring and make love to me [Chorus] I tried, honey, I tried to tell him That you were the marrying kind A faithful one-man woman The best he would ever find I guess he wasn't trying to hear that So there ain't nothing left to say I tried to tell him if you run to me I won't run away [Outro] Run away Run away, ah ah Don't run away
