This is such a sarcastic song! She doesn't want to get married, and packing lunches and cleaning are the furthest things from her mind. She's making fun of other songs where women talk about their dreams of settling down with a man, but that's not what she wants. Like in the other songs on Get Away From Me, Nellie is attacking the establishment, but here she's laying the sarcasm on thick, so that the song could almost be mistaken for a quiet confession if it wasn't for ludicrous lines like "that's why I was born."
