I am not the kind of girl 
Who should [bad word] 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 [bad word] 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 [bad word] 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 

Don’t say [bad word] 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 [bad word] 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 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 [bad word] barging in on a white veil occasion 
But you are not the kind of boy 
Who should be marrying the wrong girl 

Don’t say [bad word] 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 [bad word] 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’
