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
