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 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 brides maid

Somewhere back inside a room

Wearing a gown shaped like a pastery

This is surely not what you'd thought it would be.

I lose myself in a daydream.

Better 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.

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 uninvided by your lovely bride to be.

She floats down the isle 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 at the church at the back door

Don't wait or say a single vow.

Your time is running out and they said speak now.

Oooooh, la la la, oh

Oooooh, la la la, oh

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 bargin' 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 in your alt at the church at the back door

Don't wait or say a single vow.

You need to hear me out, said speak now.

And you say

Lets run away now

I'll meet you in an alt in my tux at the back door

Hey hey, I didn't say my vow

So glad you were around when they said speak now.
