  • Hustle, bustle and so much muscle, aww
    Cells about to separate
    And I find it hard to concentrate and

    Temporary this cash and carry
    I'm stepping up to indicate
    The time has come to deviate and

    All I want is for you to be happy and
    Take this moment to make you my family and
    Finally you have found something perfect and
    Finally you have found

    Death defying this mess I'm buying
    It's raining down with love and hate
    And I find it hard to motivate and

    Estuary is blessed but scary your
    Heart's about to palpitate
    And I'm not about to hesitate and

    One to treasure the rest of your days here and
    Give you pleasure in so many ways dear and
    Finally you have found something perfect and
    Finally you have found
    Here we go

    Do you want me to show up for duty and
    Serve this woman and honor her beauty and
    Finally you have found something perfect and
    Finally you have found
    Yourself

    With me, will you, agree, to take
    This man, into your world
    And now, we are as one

    My lone ranger the heat exchanger
    Is living in this figure eight
    And I'll do my best to recreate and

    Sweet precision and soft collision, aww
    Hearts about to palpitate
    And I find it hard to separate and

    All I want is for you to be happy and
    Take this woman and make you my family and
    Finally you have found someone perfect and
    Finally you have found

    All I want is for you to be happy and
    Take this woman and make you my family and
    Finally you have found someone perfect and
    Finally you have found
