this time 10 years ago, in the baby afterglow
said i love you, love you
but if we want to do a big song and dance and sho-ow
well i don't know, don't know
we're yet to buy a house, i don't want to buy a spouse
'cause i love you, love you
for the price of getting hitched we could play at being rich
at a life we can't reach
why don't we just get a room
sign the papers, follow through
there's no need to overdo
no hullabaloo
we could invite … no one
sign the documents and run
just like brad and angelina
prove that i'm a keeper
it isn't money that keeps us alive
though it's nice to have, i recognise
no more hullabaloo
why don't we just get a room
sign the papers, follow through
there's no need to overdo
no more hullabaloo
