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
