The first time that I met her

She was pouring shots of rum

Told me that her cousin just turned 21

She took my hand and said we're dancing

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 praying 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 hearing

Me talk about her smile

He says "You've only known her for a little while"

My mama keeps on saying

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 praying 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 her life

I'm gonna change her name, but she don't know it yet

She's what I've been praying 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
