I should have told you all I wanted was to have some fun But you wanted me to be the permanent one yes you did …You always stop me when I go to far I should have known you...waiting for those wedding bells Those wedding bells oh we could talk all night but you wouldn't understand The only words you wanna here is will you take this man …You should have known that I was only window shopping It's my clumsy way of saying…those wedding bells Tho-ose wedding bells And I could swear…I don't belong here baby …I don't belong to you baby Oh you say it's not important but I know what you're thinking Cause evry time we do something you're busy… In the back of my mind I know you'll always be waiting For those wedding bells, those wedding bells I knew I should have told you what I wanted was to have some fun But you wanted me to be the permanent one …..those wedding bells, wedding bells, those wedding bells
