I'm 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

And 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

When 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 cha?)



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

When 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

When they said, "speak now"



Oh Oh Oh! ( said speak now.... )



I hear the preacher say

"Speak now or forever ho-old your pea-ea-ea-eace

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 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!!!!!



( Ha! )



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

When 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



Baby, I didn't say my vows

So glad you were around when they said

"Speak now"
