I am not the kind of girlWho should be rudely barging in on a white veil occasionBut you are not the kind of boyWho should be marrying the wrong girl

I sneak in and see your friendsAnd her snotty little family all dressed in pastelAnd she is yelling at a bridesmaidSomewhere back inside a roomWearing a gown shaped like a pastry

This is surely not what you thought it would beI lose myself in a daydream where I stand and say

Don’t say yes, run away nowI’ll meet you when you’re outOf the church at the back doorDon’t wait or say a single vowYou need to hear me outAnd they said: Speak now

Fond gestures are exchangedAnd the organ starts to play a songThat sounds like a death marchAnd I am hiding in the curtainsIt seems that I was uninvitedBy your lovely bride-to-be

She floats down the aisleLike a pageant queenBut I know you wish it was meYou wish it was meDon’t you?

Don’t say yes, run away nowI’ll meet you when you’re outOf the church at the back doorDon’t wait or say a single vowYou need to hear me outAnd they said: Speak now

Don’t say yes, run away nowI’ll meet you when you’re outOf the church at the back doorDon’t wait or say a single vow (or say a single vow)Your time is runnin’ outAnd they said: Speak now

I hear the preacher saySpeak now or forever hold your peaceThere’s a silence, there’s my last chanceI stand up with shaky handsAll eyes on meHorrified looks from everyone in the roomBut I’m only looking at you

I am not the kind of girlWho should be rudely barging in on a white veil occasionBut you are not the kind of boyWho should be marrying the wrong girl

So don’t say yes, run away nowI’ll meet you when you’re outOf the church at the back doorDon’t wait or say a single vowYou need to hear me outThey said: Speak now

And you say: Let’s run away nowI’ll meet you when I’m outOf my tux at the back doorBaby, I didn’t say my vow (didn’t say my vow)So glad you were aroundWhen they said: Speak now
