These lyrics are incorrect. The second marriage proposal is not supposed to be in quotations. It is supposed to be:
How can you stay with a fat girl who'll say:
"Would you like to marry me
And if you like you can buy the ring"
She doesn't care about anything
Would you like to marry me
And if you like you can buy the ring
I don't dream about anyone
Except myself
The lyrics in their current form with the incorrect quotation marks changes the meaning of the song completely. The second marriage proposal is actually the marriage proposal of Morrissey (or whoever's POV it is) to William, not the fat girl's repetition of the first proposal.
It is really astonishing that a site dedicated to interpreting song lyrics could present them incorrectly so often.
@noshow Blame the copyright industry. When it started you could submit and correct lyrics here. At some point it changed, and was locked down and lyrics attributed to the copyright holder.

This would be (sort of) fine if they were all correct, but many aren't, and many are subjective, as they have numerous versions, or are almost impossible to make out.

I can guarantee this because I have written the "official" lyrics to several songs that are now on lots of different websites. Crazy huh?
