Now that we’ve said our vows

Now that we are married

Now that we’ve committed

To one love until we’re buried

It’s a brand new ball game

Things are different than before

It’s a brand new ballgame

Without innings or keeping score

Without bases, without pitches

With dreams of going

from rags to riches

No, things will never be the same

Cause it’s a brand new ball game

We’re safe to have disagreements

without the fear of being ejected

There’s a relief I’m feeling now

One I never would have expected

I would have never thought I’d have

the kind of endless joy I used to see

In those couples who chose love

instead of staying single and free

It’s a brand new ball game

Things are different than before

It’s a brand new ball game

Without home runs or keeping score

Without foul balls or bad calls

I still might say,

“You’re killing me, Smalls.”

The Bangles called it an eternal flame

and if we fail, then we’re to blame

In this brand new ball game
