I got in trouble in English for passing notes in class
Got called a loser at recess for sitting with you on the grass
I got nervous in math to ask if you would hang out
'Cause I think I really like you and I think I really want to hang out
We can meet down at the park if you get cold
Walk you back to your house until we both grow old
And be like all those old love stories we've been told
That pretty ring you wanted last week just got sold
But I'll chase down whoever bought it if you love it that much
And put it on your finger slowly, hold your hand when ours touch
I know that's way off in the future, but I need to make sure
I'll be with you this year, and next year, and many months more
Yeah I'm just an uncertain person who needs to make sure
I'll surprise you at your office with lunch 'cause you couldn't leave
It won't be an inconvenience 'cause I'll work right up the street
And at home in our apartment we just sit and watch TV
And now all I think about at work is going home and watching TV
We can meet at your favorite spot right on this street
I'll light a candle, slowly get down on one knee
Where I am going to ask you to marry me
And put that ring right on your finger finally
Then as we're standing at the alter on this beautiful day
I smile and realize that you are no longer my fiance
Oh, you're my wife now when our lives are one
I hope we're not poor (I hope we're not poor)
'Cause I wanna be with you this year
And next year, and many months more
Yeah I'm just an uncertain person who needs to make sure
And that ring has made it through all the perfume and pink blush
I still get butterflies 'cause oh my God, I love you so much
Tell our parents, children, and our grandkids who we adore
We'll be with them this year, and next year, and many months more
And if I had all of this maybe I'd never want more
