The first time that I met her She was pourin' shots of rum Told me that her cousin just turned twenty-one She took my hand and said we're dancin' When they played her favorite song We didn't stop 'til everybody else was gone I'm gonna change her name but she don't know it yet She's what I've been prayin' someday God would send I ain't never been the same since we first met I'm gonna marry that girl I'm gonna marry that girl My best friends tired of hearin' Me talk about her smile He says, "You've only known her for a little while" My mama keeps on sayin' I better take it slow I just say I will, but I already know I'm gonna change her name but she don't know it yet She's what I've been prayin' someday God would send I ain't never been the same since we first met I'm gonna marry that girl I'm gonna marry that girl I'll pick the perfect ring I'll pick the perfect time Ask her if she'll have me for the rest of my life I'm gonna change her name but she don't know it yet She's what I've been prayin' someday God would send I ain't never been the same since we first met I'm gonna marry that girl I'm gonna marry that girl Gonna change her name I'm gonna buy that ring I'm gonna marry that girl I'm gonna marry that girl
