Do You Take This Man?

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I'm very disappointed in you

and I don't handle disappointment well

I'd like to say I could forgive you

But I can never forgive; just forget

Now it would take me ten long years to forget,

That's 12 months of the year

four weeks of the month

and seven days a week

Well that's a very tall order, I got to say--

I don't have that much time to FORGET

That's a whole lot of hard and lonely time

When we could be together

Husband with this knife

I do you adore

I take you out of ths world baby

with a lot of feeling

and with this feeling I do bestow upon you

all my wordly gifts

Honey wasn't it beautiful

the lovely time we spent together

It was SERENE

I will never forget you

Long as I live

"Do you take this man"

Husband, with this blade

I do you hold

I'll take what's mine

and let the future

keep the rest

Baby, I take you from this world

to my place

to a place of feeling

where I can love you

and we can be together

God I'm so grateful to be real with you baby

Lies are for a longer life

and I have got so much to say

Shut up!!!

Shut up!!!

Don't cry baby

I'm feeling better all the time--I don't

want to be angry, ok? I'm trying not

to do that, ok?

God I'm so disappointed in you!

Remember that drive

we talked about the wild thing

for 24 hours-7

while the dogs and the coyotes laughed

and the sun went up and down

and your rod went in and out

and the buzzards and the vultures howled:

"Do you take this man?"

It was summer

It was hot

and you loved me so much

you said "Mama may I take your hand

May I please, mama?"

BITCH! KEEP THOSE BUTTOCKS UP MOMITO!

Come on.

I'm all you need. Be sweet--seriously you know

I need to get in touch with you--

I need to get in touch with the real you

I'm very disappointed in you

I told you not to run off from me baby

There's nowhere for you to go

There's no one else you need

you knew that

Now I have to get up off my knees

because I have some shopping to do

I have to think of my reputation

and chump is not my name

this hurts me more than you

so just think of the good times we had together

Im your best friend baby

I really am, and I always will be, too.
