[Verse 1]
Going fast, coming soon
We made love in the afternoon
Found a flat, after that
We got married

[Verse 2]
Working hard for the dream
Scoring goals for the other team
Times were bad, we were glad
We got married

[Bridge 1]
Like the way you open up your hearts to each other
When you find a meeting of the minds
Just as well love was all we ever wanted
It was all we ever had

[Verse 3]
Further on in the game
Waiting up till the children came
Place your bets, no regrets
We got married
We got married
We got married

[Verse 4]
Nowadays every night flashes by
At the speed of light
Living life, loving wife
We got married

[Bridge 2]
Ohh, I love the things that happen when we start to discover
Who we are and what we're living for
Oh just because love was all we ever wanted
It was all we ever had

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Outro]
It's not just a loving machine
It doesn't work out if you don't work at it
It's not just a loving machine
It doesn't work out if you don't work at it
It's not just a loving machine
It doesn't work out if you don't work at it
It's not just a loving machine
It doesn't work out if you don't work at it
It's not just a loving machine
It doesn't work out if you don't work at it
It's not just a loving machine
It doesn't work out if you don't work at it

Paul McCartney

Sir James Paul McCartney, born June 18, 1942, is the single most successful music artist of all time. He found worldwide fame as the bass player and vocalist for The Beatles, and has continued to enjoy commercial success long after the band’s breakup.

His post-Beatles projects—the most lucrative of which was the band Wings, alongside then-wife Linda Eastman—have been met with mixed critical reception but he still retains a substantial public following, regularly conducting worldwide arena tours well into his later years.

His album sales with The Beatles, Wings and solo endeavours combined come to over 100 million, and his net worth was estimated to be approximately $1.2 billion circa 2018. He was knighted in 1997 and is known for his activism.
