Intro: G x2
I am not the kinda girl
who should be rudely barging in
on a white vail ocassion
But you are not the kinda boy
who should be marrying the wrong girl
I sneak in and see your friends
and her snotty little family all dressed in pastels
And she is yelling at a bridesmaid
somewhere back inside her 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 backdoor
Don't wait, or say a single vow
You need to hear me out and they said speak now
Fun 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 looks 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 backdoor
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
x2
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 shaking hands all eyes on me
Horrified looks from everyone in the room
But I'm only lookin' at you
I am not the kinda girl
who should be rudely barging in
on a white vail ocassion
But you are not the kinda boy
who should be marrying the wrong girl
Don't say yes, run away now
I'll meet you when you're out of the church at the backdoor
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
