Song Description

A friend is trying to understand how a ladies man has decided to settle down and get married

Lyrics

Said a friend, what's got into you
Can you forget those things that you used to do
You know you fathered some tails
That could've gotten you shot
So tell me why, you're tying the knot

Said the friend, You must've gone mad
As soon as I heard the news, I knew that you had
You still can do anything
And all the time you could want
So tell me why you're tying the knot

(Chorus)
He says, I finally found a love that shines
A good hearted woman that I can call mine
It's like the heavens have opened and welcome me in
I feel all fresh and new like I'm starting again
And I've never been so sure in my life and that's why
I'm taking a wife and tying the knot

(verse)
Said the friend, I hear what you say
But can you really move on and just walk away
we've all heard that story 'bout the leopard's spots
So tell me why, you're tying the knot

Said the friend, let's go get a bite
I've got some friends downtown,
we'll make it a night
Let's call it one for old times,
a night that won't be forgot
Before you're tying the knot.

(chorus)
He says, I finally found a love that shines
A good hearted woman that I can call mine
It's like the heavens have opened and welcome me in
I feel all fresh and new like I'm starting again
And I've never been so sure in my life and that's why
I'm taking a wife and tying the knot

(Bridge)
Well you aint no friend of mine
If you can't understand that I'm
Not the same
Everything's changed
And that's all right for you
But it's not what I want to do
To play the game
There's no one to blame
It's all okay
