Don't  have to humble yourself to me, I ain't your judge or your Cain (?)
Baby,  you know you ain't no Queen of Sheba
We  may not even have our nicotine, this could be just a powerful thing,
Baby  we can choose  you know we ain't no amoeba
Are  you ready for this thing  called love
Don't  come from you and me, it comes  from up above
I  ain't no porcupine, take  off your kid  gloves,
Are  you ready for this thing  called love
 You ain't some icon carved out of soap, sent down here to clean up my
  reputation
 Baby, I ain't your Prince Charming,
 Now we can live in fear or act out of hope, for some kind of peaceful
  situation
 Baby, don't know why the cry of love is so alarming
 Ugly ducklings don't turn into swans,
 And glide off down the lake,
 Whether your sunglasses are off or on,
 You only see the world you make,
 Before the laws of God and man I take you for my wife
 To love, honour, cherish and obey,
 Now I didn't have no plans to live this kind of life
 It just worked out that way
 this won't be exactly correct, but I think it's pretty close.
