Marry Me, Archie Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You've expressed explicitly your contempt for matrimony
You've student loans to pay and will not risk the alimony
We spend our days locked in a room, content inside a bubble
And in the nighttime, we go out and scour the streets for trouble

[Chorus]
Hey, hey, marry me, Archie
Hey, hey, marry me, Archie

[Verse 2]
During the summer, take me sailing out on the Atlantic
I won't set my sights on other seas, there is no need to panic
So, honey, take me by the hand and we can sign some papers
Forget the invitations, floral arrangements and bread makers

[Chorus]
Hey, hey, marry me, Archie
Hey, hey, marry me, Archie

[Bridge]
Too late to go out, too young to stay in
They're talking about us living in sin

[Chorus]
Hey, hey, marry me, Archie
Hey, hey, marry me, Archie
Hey, hey, marry me, Archie
Hey, hey, marry me, Archie

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
