From the recording I’d Rather Have A Puppy Than A Ring

Lyrics

VERSE
Everybody headed straight down the path
Happy they’re knowin’ where they’re goin’
Maybe they do, but when I do the math
I don’t like the way the wind is blowin’
Lookin’ for each other everywhere we go
Even lookin’ on the computer
I’ve come to believe there’s a thing I know
I’m thinkin’ like a love prosecutor

PRE-CHORUS
Now I may be a guy, but I know this…

CHORUS
I’d rather have a puppy than a ring
No way I’m ready for the marriage thing
So while I’m waitin’ for my heart to go ting-aling-aling
I’d rather have a puppy, a cute little puppy
I’d rather have a puppy than a ring

VERSE
You’re thinkin’ you found me; I’m number one
You’re thinkin’ we oughta get wedded
But I’ve got news; let’s just have a little fun
Thinkin’ marriage makes me lightheaded
There’s plenty of time to lose our minds
Find a preacher, walk down the aisle
Only later to discover love is not so blind
Who’d be the first to file?

Repeat CHORUS/BRIDGE
I’m thinkin’ ’bout gettin’ a sweet little thing, but I like you a lot
So I’m gonna need a big-old jealous kind of puppy
To keep you from talkin’ me into doin’ somethin’ dumb

SOLO/Repeat CHORUS (2x)/TAG
I’d rather have a puppy, a cute little puppy
I’d rather have a puppy than a ring
