I used to worry about the kisses I had lost
& told myself someday U’re gonna pay the cost
No home no kids no wife no one there 2 blame
A never ending string of lonely days no flame
That I could warm up to on winter stormy nights
Although at times I know there would have been
Some fights
Cold staring fixed by broken glasses on the floor
“oh well I’m sorry if once more I slammed that door”

But I’m so happy I didn’t marry you
Because right now I wouldn’t know just what to do
With such a boring life a shallow girl like you
I’m so happy I didn’t marry you

And yet at times when twilight comes
And trees turn black
I wonder what would I do If I could get back
Would I convince myself I oughta stay with you
Cause It’s the best that you and I could do
Then I remember how you used to make me feel
As if my skin had turned into fast aging peel
We felt so old before we ever got to live
We couldn’t feed it there was nothing else to give

I’m so happy I didn’t marry you
Because right now I wouldn’t know just what to do
With such a boring life a shallow girl like you
I’m so happy I didn’t marry you

Different strokes for different folks
It seems to me you’re doing fine
And when I see a picture of you
The rose is there but where’s the spine?
All the good and the bad like a
Castle in the sand gets washed away
And though I wish you all the best
I’m honestly so glad that you didn’t stay
And yes I paid the price of many days alone
But it was there and then I learned to be my own
Beacon and the beauty of it all
Was the rising after each and every fall

But I’m so happy I didn’t marry you
Because right now I wouldn’t know just what to do
With such a boring life a shallow girl like you
I’m so happy I didn’t marry you
