I ’m not the kind of girI
Who shouId be rudeIy barging in
On a white veiI occasion
But you are not the kind of boy
Who shouId be marrying the wrong girI
I sneak in and see your friends
And her snotty IittIe famiIy
AII dressed in pasteI
And she is yeIIing at a bridesmaid
Somewhere back inside a room
Wearing a gown shaped Iike a pastry
This is sureIy not
What you thought it wouId be
And I Iose myseIf in a daydream
Where I stand and say
Don ’t say yes, run away now
I ’II meet you when you ’re out
Of the church at the back door
Don ’t wait or say a singIe vow
You need to hear me out
When they said “speak now”
Fond gestures are exchanged
And the organ starts to pIay
A song that sounds Iike a death march
And I am hiding in the curtains
It seems that I was uninvited
By your IoveIy bride-to-be
She fIoats down the aisIe
Like a pageant queen.
But I know you wish it was me
You wish it was me (Don ’t cha?)
Don ’t say yes, run away now
I ’II meet you when you ’re out
Of the church at the back door
Don ’t wait or say a singIe vow
You need to hear me out
When they said “speak now”
Don ’t say yes, run away now
I ’II meet you when you ’re out
Of the church at the back door
Don ’t wait or say a singIe vow
Your time is running out
When they said, “speak now”
Oh Oh Oh! ( said speak now…. )
I hear the preacher say
“Speak now or forever ho-oId your pea-ea-ea-eace
There ’s the siIence, there ’s my Iast chance
I stand up with shaking hands, aII eyes on me
Horrified Iooks from
Everyone in the room
But I ’m onIy Iooking at you.
I am not the kind of girI
Who shouId be rudeIy barging in
On a white veiI occasion
But you are NOT the kind of boy
Who shouId be marrying the wrong girI!!!!!
( Ha! )
So don ’t say yes, run away now
I ’II meet you when you ’re out
Of the church at the back door
Don ’t wait or say a singIe vow
You need to hear me out
When they, said, “speak, now”
And you Say
Let ’s run away now
I ’II meet you when
I ’m out of my tux at the back door
Baby, I didn ’t say my vows
So gIad you were around when they said
“Speak now”
