Marry You Lyrics

[Chorus]
It's a beautiful night
We're looking for something dumb to do
Hey, baby, I think I wanna marry you
Is it the look in your eyes
Or is it this dancing juice?
Who cares, baby? I think I wanna marry you

[Verse 1]
Well, I know this little chapel on the boulevard, we can go
No one will know

Oh, come on, girl
Who cares if we're trashed? Got a pocket full of cash we can blow
Shots of Patrón
And it's on, girl

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't say no, no, no, no, no
Just say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
And we'll go, go, go, go, go
If you're ready, like I'm ready

[Chorus]
'Cause it's a beautiful night
We're looking for something dumb to do
Hey, baby, I think I wanna marry you
Is it the look in your eyes
Or is it this dancing juice?
Who cares, baby? I think I wanna marry you
Oh
[Verse 2]
I'll go get a ring, let the choir bells sing like, "Ooh"
So what you wanna do?
Let's just run, girl
If we wake up and you wanna break up, that's cool
No, I won't blame you
It was fun, girl

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't say no, no, no, no, no
Just say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
And we'll go, go, go, go, go
If you're ready, like I'm ready

[Chorus]
'Cause it's a beautiful night
We're looking for something dumb to do
Hey, baby, I think I wanna marry you
Is it the look in your eyes
Or is it this dancing juice?
Who cares, baby? I think I wanna marry you

[Bridge]
Just say, "I do"
Tell me right now, baby
Tell me right now, baby, baby
Just say, "I do"
Tell me right now, baby
Tell me right now, baby, baby, oh
[Chorus]
It's a beautiful night
We're looking for something dumb to do
Hey, baby, I think I wanna marry you
Is it the look in your eyes
Or is it this dancing juice?
Who cares, baby? I think I wanna marry you

Philip Lawrence commented on the song during an interview with American Songwriter:

When we were coming up with that song, we had this image of a slow-mo video in Vegas of a couple running, and she’s in her gown and he’s in his tux, the wedding party is behind them and everyone’s raging. This sort of crazy, daring, wedding feeling.
It was more of a racy kind of idea, as opposed to this classic marriage tune it has become.“ He added "We always thought it was a good song and catchy, but we didn’t think it would affect pop culture the way that it has.
The first time we saw one of those YouTube videos, it changed everything for us. We were almost in tears, just the power of music… the power of what it is we can create. These ideas, words, and lyrics and how they can get into the fabric of society and affect people’s lives in such an amazing way.

Originally slated as the fourth and last single from “Doo-Wops And Hooligans”, Marry You is a typical pop love song, where Bruno is so in love with this girl that he would even immediately marry her.
