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 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 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'e 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 backdoor
Don't wait or say a single vow
Your time is running out and they said speak now

Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, say 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 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

So 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 say, let's run away now
I'll meet when I'm out of my tux at the backdoor
Baby, I didn’t say my vows, so glad you were around
When they said speak now
