I am not the
kind of girl
Who should be rudely
barging in on
a white veil occasion
But you are not
the kind of boy
Who should be
marrying
the wrong girl
I sneak in and
see your friends
And her snotty
little family
all dressed in pastel
And she is yelling
at a bridesmaid
Somewhere back
inside a room
Wearing a gown shaped
like a pastry
This is surely
not what you thought
it would be
I lose myself
in a daydream
Where I stand
and say
Don't say yes,
run away now
I'll meet you
when you're out
of the church
at the back door
Don't wait,
or say a single vow
You need to
hear me out
And they said,
"Speak now"
Fond gestures
are exchanged
And the organ
starts to play
A song that sounds
like a death march
And I am hiding
in the curtains
It seems that
I was uninvited
by your lovely
bride-to-be
She floats down
the aisle
like a pageant queen
But I know you
wish it was me
You wish it was me
Don't you?
Don't say yes,
run away now
I'll meet you
when you're out
of the church
at the back door
Don't wait,
or say a single vow
You need to
hear me out
And they said,
"Speak now"
Don't say yes,
run away now
I'll meet you
when you're out
of the church
at the back door
Don't wait,
or say a single vow
Your time is
running out
And they said,
"Speak now"
I hear the
preacher say,
"Speak now or forever
hold your peace"
There's the silence,
there's my last chance
I stand up
with shaky hands,
all eyes on me
Horrified looks from
everyone in the room
But I'm only
looking at you
I am not the
kind of girl
Who should be
rudely barging in
on a white veil
occasion
But you are not
the kind of boy
Who should be
marrying
the wrong girl
So don't say yes,
run away now
I'll meet you
when you're out
of the church
at the back door
Don't wait,
or say a single vow
You need to
hear me out
And they said,
"Speak now"
And you'll say,
"Let's run away now"
I'll meet you
when I'm out
of my tux
at the back door
Baby, I didn't
say my vows
So glad you
were around
When they said,
"Speak now"
