1. I’m happy to be married to Michelle
The prettiest little girl I ever saw
When I walked through the door and first met her,
Right before my eyes  -I Saw Stars 

2. Well, I’m happy to be married to Michelle
You know we’ve been married for a while
We’ve had our ups, we’ve had some downs. I even shed a tear
But side by side, we’ve made it through the years

3. Well, I’m happy to be married to Michelle
The prettiest little girl I ever saw
She took me by the hand, down the aisle we ran,
Never looking back, that’s for sure

[key change]

4. Well,  I’m happy to be married to Michelle
The sweetest little thing I’ve ever known
We’ve had our ups, we’ve had some downs, I’ve even shed a tear
But side by side, we’ve made it through the years

5. Well, I’m happy to be married to Michelle
You know we’ve been married for a while
You might think our marriage is a little mild
But I’ll admit, she can be…  a little wild
Yes I’ll admit, she can be… a little wild
Oh I’ll admit she can be… a little wild
