Woman, you now have a husband
I am advising you to stay with him.
Woman, I no longer want to see you
I don't want to commence a war
It's not too early to shut up
It is not too late to do the right thing
Woman, I don't want to see you anymore
I'll be there neither too early nor too late.
Ma'am, you now have a husband
I am advising you to stay with your man.
Daredevil, you are now married
Let me enjoy my life as a bachelor
I don't want to pursue any adventure
I am building a much better future
It's not because I love you no more
You are married, you have a new status.
Ma'am, you now have a husband
I am advising you to stay with your man.
Woman, for better and for worse
You're married to a guy forever
I want to be neither your love nor your lover
I keep my distance and move away from your smile
I want no part of any strange and futile adventure
You're married; I don't need a bond with you.
Woman, you now have a husband
I am advising you to stay with him.
