When I was a child, I wanted to be a soldier.
When I was a teenager, I wanted to be a manager.
Then I dreamed of becoming a scientist,
And being the best scientist in the East.

But now.

I wish to be,
I wish to be,
Your only beloved husband—I wish to be.

I wish to be,
I wish to be,
The father of your children—I wish to be.

Now, as I tell you my story,
I don’t even dream of leading a country.
Oh, how strange it is for me
That a girl could have such power over me.

That now.

I wish to be,
I wish to be,
Your only beloved husband—I wish to be.

I wish to be,
I wish to be,
The father of your children—I wish to be.

Before you, I had relationships with other girls.
What I found especially endearing in some was their helplessness.
You love being my "little girl."
I know that very well.

And now.

I wish to be,
I wish to be,
Your only beloved husband—I wish to be.

I wish to be,
I wish to be,
The father of your children—I wish to be.

I wish to be,
I wish to be,
Your only beloved husband—I wish to be.

I wish to be,
I wish to be,
The father of your children—I wish to be.

I didn’t know the value of money before,
I spent it mercilessly, therefore,
I didn’t know it was so hard-earned
When I asked my dad for more.

But now that I earn money myself,
And earn it through hard work each day,
I can’t afford an unnecessary shelf
For my lovely backyard display.

Hey guys, go and make some money,
You’ll see your honey’s face look sunny.
The sun will shine so bright and true,
You’ll say, “Life is good, Mom, thank you!”

You’ll say, “Life is good, Mom, thank you!”


Everyone earns money in their own way,
Even some girls make it on the highway.
Find a job that speaks to your heart,
And keep striving—just do your part.

Psychologists say this is the key to success,
Follow this rule for several years,
And you’ll see, quite clear, I guess,
That you're the same, but now loved for your success.

Hey guys, go and make some money,
You’ll see your honey’s face look sunny.
The sun will shine so bright and true,
You’ll say, “Life is good, Mom, thank you!”

I always wanted to have my own way,
I thought about it every day.
There were many challenges along the way,
And I didn’t know what to say.

But now I’ve met you, my sweet girl,
And now I want you and that’s all.
Although I’m not very tall,
You know you are my goal.

Baby, tell me, where do you come from?
I want to take you to my home.
We’ll swear beneath a church dome
To stay together until the world is gone.

We’ll have children and give them our best,
They’ll grow up and thrive in our nest.
We’ll spend our lives on a happiness quest
And become the happiest couple in the west.

I know you’ve dreamed of a strong knight,
But I’ll prove to you on our first night,
That although I’m not very handsome,
You’ll say it was truly awesome.

You’ll find something special in me,
You’ll spend your life happily with me.
And at the end of your days, you’ll say,
“I’m so glad I was your wife every day.”

Baby, tell me, where do you come from?
I want to take you to my home.
We’ll swear beneath a church dome
To stay together until the world is gone.

We’ll have children and give them our best,
They’ll grow up and thrive in our nest.
We’ll spend our lives on a happiness quest
And become the happiest couple in the west.
