lyrics

what would you say to marriage
after the 200th time I told the same joke
and then I broke your favorite watch with my heel

what would you say of true love
after the 200th time I told you I loved
and then I blew your confidence with a lover that was in my past

I thought you knew, I thought you knew
this was marriage

would you still find me pretty
after the 200th time I wore the same skirt
and then I hurt your dream job offer because I was scared

would you still buy me dinner
after the 200th time I dropped my silver fork
and the nursery rhyme stork never brought a baby to you

I thought you knew
I thought you knew
this was
just two names on a court certificate
20 years and the same kiss
and I thought you knew
I thought you knew
this was marriage
