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
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
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
And 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 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 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
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 barging 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 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
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
