Maire's feeling so happy now
So sure of what she has got
Turns and looks at her lover
When will we tie the knot
John's the man of her dreams
From the age of seventeen
But he's no longer certain
But he's no longer sure
It took two years, it took two years, for the makin'
Then just one day, then just one day, for the breakin'
Maire I don't love you
Maire I don't love you
Maire I don't love you
Maire I don't love you now
I don't love you
John is feeling so sick now
Indecision set in
Maire once was his true love
Now he's guilty of sin
Doesn't want to go to the alter
Doesn't want to have to get married
Maire tells him she's pregnant
What a mess he is in
It took two years, it took two years, for the makin'
Then just one day, then just one day, for the breakin'
Maire I don't love you
Maire I don't love you
Maire I don't love you
Maire I don't love you now
Is he going to marry out of conscience
Is he going to marry out of fear
Is he going to make all the wrong mistakes
Then watch his life disappear
It took two years, it took two years, for the makin'
Then just one day, then just one day, for the breakin'
Maire I don't love you
Maire I don't love you
Maire I don't love you
Maire I don't love you now
I don't love you
