[Verse 1]
Show me a girl with a dimple on her cheek
But it melts in her mouth when she opens it to speak
Show me a girl who is acting so refined
And I'll show you a girl with one thing on her mind
[Chorus]
So I say, "You know what?"
She says, "What?", I say, "What?
Oh, I'm not the marrying kind"
[Verse 2]
"For you've got what it takes
And it takes what you've got
But I'm not the marrying kind"
[Bridge]
"Don't kiss me, don't claw me
Don't pet me, don't paw me
I won't leave my freedom behind"
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
"You know what?", She says, "What?"
I say, "What? Thanks a lot
But I'm not the marrying kind"
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
[Verse 4]
"I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not
Now you've got what I'm not
I'm not the marrying kind"
[Outro]
"Oh, I'm not the marrying kind
Oh, I'm not the marrying kind"
Show me a girl with a dimple on her cheek
But it melts in her mouth when she opens it to speak
Show me a girl who is acting so refined
And I'll show you a girl with one thing on her mind
[Chorus]
So I say, "You know what?"
She says, "What?", I say, "What?
Oh, I'm not the marrying kind"
[Verse 2]
"For you've got what it takes
And it takes what you've got
But I'm not the marrying kind"
[Bridge]
"Don't kiss me, don't claw me
Don't pet me, don't paw me
I won't leave my freedom behind"
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
"You know what?", She says, "What?"
I say, "What? Thanks a lot
But I'm not the marrying kind"
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
[Verse 4]
"I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not
Now you've got what I'm not
I'm not the marrying kind"
[Outro]
"Oh, I'm not the marrying kind
Oh, I'm not the marrying kind"
