Lyrics

Shotgun Romance

I just wanna be loved by you
Give me your love in a little box
With fruits and nuts and buttercups
and a card addressed to me

I just wanna be kissed by you
Give me your kiss in a pretty box
With lollipops and chocolate
and a card addressed to me

With ribbons and bows and little white doves
Only the things that are as sweet as your love
Syrup and jam, lemonade, too
I just want to be loved by you

With flowers and gifts and coconut bliss
Only the things that are as sweet as your kiss
Peaches and cream, sweet honeydew
I just want to be kissed by you... mm hmm

Bridge:
Ya know Jill, she met a Jim; showed a little skin
Next thing you know, there's a baby in the pen
Preacher man comes; her daddy had a gun
They all made promises (shotgun)
Well that baby did grow and she found herself a Joe
And they filled the back seat of a Ford Pinto
Preacher man comes; her daddy had a gun
And they start all over again, woo hoo woo hoo woo hoo

I just want for me to marry you
Give me a ring in a velvet box
with shiny things, and aquamarine
and a card, addressed to me

With silver and gold and soft summer rain
Only the things that are as sweet as your name
Diamonds and pearls, emeralds, too
I just want for me to marry you. I do.

I just want to be loved by you
I just want to be kissed by you
I just want for me to marry you
To be loved by you
