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
