Good Enough To Be Your Wife

You ask me if we can live together

Marriage doesn't fit your way of life

And you say that you'll be with me forever

Well if that's true, please make me your wife

'Cause if I'm good enough to be your woman, good enough to share your life

Good enough to live together, I'm good enough to be your wife

Good enough to have your children, good enough to give 'em life

Good enough to do your cooking, I'm good enough to be your wife

I don't care what people say about us

Loving one another isn't wrong

And I don't care as long as we're together

Right here next to you is where I belong

But, if I'm good enough to be your woman, good enough to share your life

Good enough to live together, I'm good enough to be your wife

Good enough to have your children, good enough to give 'em life

Good enough to do your cooking, I'm good enough to be your wife

Darling I'm so glad you want me with you

But sharin' someone's life just ain't the game

So with you really want to live together

Then first of all I've got to have your name

'Cause if I'm good enough to be your woman, good enough to share your life

Good enough to live together, I'm good enough to be your wife

Good enough to have your children, good enough to give 'em life

Good enough to do your cooking, I'm good enough to be your wife
