MARRY ME
(G. Stefani, T. Kanal)
from the album Return of Saturn

First performed on No Doubt's clubtour in 1999.

I can't help that I like to be kissed 
And I wouldn't mind if my name changed to Mrs. 
This is one side, my conventional side 
An attraction to tradition
My vintage disposition 
My sincere architecture
And I want to cook him dinner 
But I'm more indecisive then ever
And who believes in forever?

Who will be the one to marry me? 

A girl in the world barking up the wrong tree 
A creature conditioned to enjoy matrimony 
Crumbling continuity, I pick up the pieces 
The ceremony makes me zealous
As the past quickly ceases 
Fear from being neutered
I'm now prude, now defensive 
Quickly I'm altered and tempted by new love only rented
 
Do you believe you'll marry me?
You might be the one to marry me

Back, looking back, looking back at me 
I'm not how I used to be 
Take me back, take me back into history 
Diamond ring, tie me down, just like it used to be
 
Who will be the one to marry me? 
Who will be the one to marry me?
