Ooh...ooh... ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...

Ooh...ooh... ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...

If I could make a wish

And my wish came true

I believe I would have the solution

To vows that are made when you say, "I do'

To make it more clear for you to see

Here is what, here is what my wish would be

I wish that a marriage license

Was just like a driver's license

That expires every two years

With an option to hold

Just in case love doesn't grow cold

Grow cold, grow cold, grow cold

Let's say you don't want him

And he felt the same way too

How is it would be all over

And there'd be nothing anyone could do

If this were to be, to be the best

Than no one, no one would ever fail this test

I wish that a marriage license

Was just like a driver's license

That expires every two years

With an option to hold

Just in case love doesn't grow cold

Grow cold, grow cold, grow cold

With so many tears

Shed year after year

I believe this would be the difference

Between "Goodbye' and "I love you, dear'

So if you got a good thing

And this you know

You'll think twice or maybe three times

Before you let go

I wish that a marriage license

Was just like a driver's license

That expires every two years

With an option to hold

Just in case love doesn't grow cold

Grow cold, grow cold, grow cold

Just in case, just in case love doesn't grow cold

Grow cold, grow cold, grow cold

Just in case, just in case love doesn't grow cold

Grow cold, grow cold, grow cold

Just in case, just in case love doesn't grow cold

Grow cold, grow cold, grow cold

Grow cold, grow cold, grow cold

Grow cold, grow cold, grow cold

Grow cold, grow cold, grow cold

Grow cold
