All of my friends at school grew up and settled down
And they mortgaged up their life
One thing's not said too much, but I think it's true
They just get married cause there's nothing else to do.

Prenuptial agreement. Everybody needs a prenup! People think you gotta be rich to get a prenup, oh no! You got 20 million, your wife want 10, big deal, you ain't starvin'. But if you make 30 thousand, and your wife want 15, you might have to kill her!
