"I'm A Married Man" (Single Ladies Parody)

"I'm A Married Man" is a parody of the legendary song "Single Ladies" and an homage to gay marriage empowerment in the face of Proposition 8. The song is sung from the perspective of a gay married couple responding to Yes on Prop 8 voters.

LYRICS:

I'm a married man (x7)
Now put your rings up

You may have read / We just got wed
We're doing our own little thing
But you've gotta hate / With proposition 8
Cause another brother married me
You up on us / What's all this fuss
Don't pay us any attention
Cause you've got your fears / And we've cried our tears
But someday you're gonna see

That we like it and we're gonna put a ring on it
Yeah we like it and we're gonna put a ring on it
Don't be mad when you hear that we want it
Cause we like it and we're gonna put a ring on it

Yes we can put a ring on it for we do love each other (x2)

You know we like it and we're gonna put a ring on it
Yeah we like it and we're gonna put a ring on it
Don't be mad when you hear that we want it
Cause we like it and we're gonna put a ring on it

I got nothing to hide / A man on my side
It don't matter if we're pretty in pink
It's our time / Drinking our wine
We can care less what you think
We need no permission / Did we mention
Don't pay us any attention
Cause it's our turn / And now you're gonna learn
That it's all right that gays are married

Cause we like it and we're gonna put a ring on it
Yeah we like it and we're gonna put a ring on it
Don't be mad when you hear that we want it
Cause we like it and we're gonna put a ring on it

Yes we can put a ring on it for we do love each other (x2)

You know we like it and we're gonna put a ring on it
Yeah we like it and we're gonna put a ring on it
Don't be mad when you hear that we want it
Cause we like it and we're gonna put a ring on it

Yes we will put a ring on it for we do love each other (x2)

Don't take away the love that we feel
I don't know what's your deal
There's nothing here to steal
This is real
So go on and think as you will
But remember we deserve to live
With dignity and respect
Tell me what would you expect
I am not afraid (x2)
And ignorance will go away
And happiness is here to stay

I'm a married man (x7)
Now put your rings up

Yes we can put a ring on it for we do love each other (x2)

Cause we like it and we're gonna put a ring on it
Yeah we like it and we're gonna put a ring on it
Don't be mad when you hear that we want it
Cause we like it and we're gonna put a ring on it

You know we like it and we're gonna put a ring on it
Yeah we like it and we're gonna put a ring on it
Don't be mad when you hear that we want it
Cause we like it and we're gonna put a ring on it

Yes we will
