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

[Chorus:]
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 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?

[Chorus]

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 La
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 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

[Chorus]

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
When They Said, "Speak Now"
