If We Were Married Lyrics by Nadia Dandashi, Tsilala Brock

Suffs (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

2024

[DUDLEY]
If we were married
I'd promise to cherish you just as a gentleman should
[DORIS]
If we were married
I'd promise to forfeit my legal autonomy for good
[DUDLEY]
If we were married
We'd buy our own acre of land for our own little house
[DORIS]
If we were married
Our possessions and property would solely belong
To the masculine spouse
If we were married
[DUDLEY]
If we were married
[DUDLEY & DORIS]
If wе were married
[DUDLEY]
If wе were married
We'd fill out our family and life would simply sublime
[DORIS]
If we were married
I'd churn out your children 'cause contraception's a federal crime
[DUDLEY]
If we were married
We'd save up a nest egg to cushion us later in life
[DORIS]
If we were married
My earnings would be in your name
And I couldn't control my own spending
Or open a bank account
Or sign a contract
Or hire a lawyer because, economically speaking
I'd die by becoming your wife
If we were married
[DUDLEY]
If we were married
[DUDLEY & DORIS]
If we were married
[DORIS]
You've gotta admire the ease with which men can squeeze us
Into such a rigid role
[DUDLEY, spoken]
You do?
[DORIS]
Daughters are taught to aspire to a system
Expressly designed to keep 'em under control
For instance
If we were married
And you physically beat me
That wouldn't be illegal to do
[DUDLEY, spoken]
What?
[DORIS]
Can you believe it is 1916
And all of these things are still actually true?
[DUDLEY]
I suppose I never stopped to think about how it would be for you
If we were married
[DORIS]
If we were married
[DUDLEY & DORIS]
If we were married
