Marry me a little, Love me just enough. Cry, but not too often, Play, but not too rough. Keep a tender distance so we'll both be free. That's the way it ought to be. I'm ready! Marry me a little, Do it with a will. Make a few demands I'm able to fulfill. Want me more than others, Not exclusively. That's the way it ought to be. I'm ready! I'm ready now! You can be my best friend, I can be your right arm. We'll go through a fight or two-- No harm, no harm. We'll look not too deep, We'll go not too far. We won't have to give up a thing, We'll stay who we are. Right? Okay, then. I'm ready! I'm ready now! Someone-- Marry me a little, Love me just enough. Warm and sweet and easy, Just the simple stuff. Keep a tender distance So we'll both be free. That's the way it ought to be. I'm ready! Marry me a little, Body, heart, and soul. Passionate as hell But always in control. Want me first and foremost, Keep me company. That's the way it ought to be. I'm ready! I'm ready now! Oh, how gently we'll talk, Oh, how softly we'll tread. All the stings, The ugly things We'll keep unsaid. We'll build a cocoon Of love and respect. You promise whatever you like, I'll never collect. Right? Okay, then. I'm ready. I'm ready now. Someone-- I'm ready!
I am No Broadway expert, but I've read that this song was cut from 'Company' when the show first came out (in 1975, I think) .... so this makes me wonder when it was actually made part of the production ....
@@mike.marziliano24601 Hello, fellow baritone! Personally I like the lighter sounding baritones on the song. Like Michael Rupert, Raoul Esparza, and Cerveris. Maybe even John Barrowman.
Anything Michael Cerveris does is a master class. Bravo.
Wow! I love the cry in his voice. So poignant 👍🏻
Gave me goose bumps!
he acts and sings the shit out of this song. michael cerveris is the man
I love this guy

How wonderful Mr. Cerveris!! How wonderful Mr. Sondheim. Kudos to the band. Is that Ted Sperling's shadow reflected in the window at the piano?

@@mike.marziliano24601 I’ve heard this song in a lot of different keys. But isn’t Robert considered a high baritone?
