I am not the kind of girl Who should be rudely bargin' in on a white veil occasion But you are not the kind of boy Who should be marryin' 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 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 a silence, there's my last chance I stand up with shaking hands All eyes on me Horrified looks from everyone in the room But I'm only lookin' at you I am not the kind of girl Who should be rudely bargin' in on a white veil occasion But you are not the kind of boy, Who should be marryin' 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 say, "let's run away now I'll meet you when I'm out of my tux at the back door Oh baby, I didn't say my vow So glad you were around when they said, "speak now"
