Speak now

*click this*

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" 


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 I was uninvited 

By your lovely bride-to-be 


She floats down she 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" 


Ooh, la, oh 

Ooh, ooh 


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 back door 


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 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"
