I'd take that toothy grin
Over just about any other thing
You can bet your bottom dollar
That I've been looking for a ring
But what would your mum say?
How would your father feel?
Without a crowd of witnesses
How will we know it was real?
We can't elope
Though wouldn't it be nice?
I want a photograph for our kids to laugh
We Cantaloupe
Consider those that came before us
They gave up their lives
So that you and I could proudly
Hold each other tight
You know I love frosting
I know you love cake
So let's invite everyone
To come and celebrate
We can't elope
Though technically we could
I've got nothing to prove
My choice is always you
We Cantaloupe
I could write out pages, pages, worn out pages
But what good would that do?
If you could be patient patient patient darlin' patient
I'm already vowed to you, to you
But we can't elope
As simple as that'd be
What's the fun in it if we can't flaunt a bit?
We Cantaloupe
We can't elope
