Some people say that love is a prison
And you're locked up
Whenever you're in it
Well I don't buy it
And anyway, if being locked away just meant
Waking up next to you everyday
Well I wouldn't mind it

In a world of nightmares
You're a sweet, sweet dream
Just about the prettiest thing that I've ever seen
I've been waiting so long for a girl like you to come by
Tell me baby, will you be mine for 25 to life?

If I was accused of digging you
Loving every little thing you do
Well I couldn't deny it
And if they wanted to sentence me
To a life time of loving you tenderly
Well I'd be delighted
In a lifelong winter time you're the first day of spring
Just about the prettiest thing that I've ever seen
I've been waiting so long for a girl like you to come by
Tell me baby, will you be mine for 25 to life?
