So you say you wanna tie the knot,
And you're askin' me if I think that the two of you have got,
What it takes to make it work.
Well, one thing's for sure:
All you really need is love

Let me say I'm happy for you both.
And here's a little something that the two of you should know.
If you want to do it right,
Well, take my advice:
All you really need is love

And a license and a blood test and a bunch of invitations;
A minister, a white dress and, of course, a congregation.
And flowers and music and candles and cake,
And a bunch of rice for folks to throw as you drive away.

Well, what's that expression on your face?
You're lookin' kind of pale, is everything okay?
Don't worry you'll be fine,
If you just keep in mind,
That all you really need is love

That's all. Hurry on!

Oh, and bridesmaids and groomsmen and a wedding co-ordinator;
And food for the reception; you'll need someone to cater.
Did I forget to mention it'll take a couple rings?
And of course a P.A. system, if you're wantin' me to sing.

Well, you look so happy you could cry,
And that explains the teardrops I see wellin' in your eyes.
Don't worry you'll be fine,
If you just keep in mind:
All you really need is love

I'm sure I'm tellin' you something you already knew:
All you really need is love.
