Saving Ourselves For Marriage

I saw your deep blue eyes from afar



I saw you at the church bazaar

I asked the priest to introduce me to your mother

And I asked her to introduce us to each other



I asked you to go on a picnic of our own

But you insisted on taking a chaperone

I apologized for being so bold and rude

So I invited your parents for lemonade and food



We're saving ourselves

Saving ourselves for marriage

Saving ourselves, for a baby carriage

Restraining ourselves, till the moment's right

Saving ourselves, for our wedding night



After four years of dating, I decided to take a risk

I held both your hands, and kissed your rose-petaled lips

We stared into each others' eyes, wondering what was next

But we knew not to ruin our love with pre-marital sex



We're saving ourselves

Saving ourselves for marriage

Saving ourselves, for a baby carriage

Restraining ourselves, till the moment's right

Saving ourselves, for our wedding night



Years went by, our courtship was grand

One day I asked your father for your hand

I'd never treat you like an object, only like a lady

I'd never consider having sex, except to have a baby



We're saving ourselves

Saving ourselves for marriage

Saving ourselves, for a baby carriage

Restraining ourselves, till the moment's right

Saving ourselves, for our wedding night
