You're like a guitar in the hands

Of a man that just can't play

You're like an inmate countin' off the days

You're like a student on vacation

That's waitin' for school to resume

Like a flower in the dark

Never gonna bloom



You're getting married

You're getting married

You're getting married--oh no...



Wellyou say that you'll both be real happy

You forgot to tell your eyes

You're like a bird in a cage

Watchin' the flock fly on by

You're like a student who's on vacation

Just waitin' for school to start

I don't know what's in it for you

But it ain't in your heart...



You're getting married

You're getting married

You're getting married--oh no..oh no...



You're like a guitar in the hands

Of some fool that just can't play

You're like an inmate countin' off the days

Wellyou say that you'll both be happy

Heyyou forgot to tell your eyes

You're like a bird in a cage

Watchin' the flock fly on by



You're like a student on vacation

Just waitin' for school to resume

You're like a flower in the dark

You ain't never gonna bloom

If you get married

If you get married

Don't you get married

Nonono no...
