Speak Now

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 out and see your friends
And her snotty little family
All dress on pastel
And she is yelling at the bridesmaid
Somewhere back inside a room
Wearing a gown shaped like a pastry
Thi--is i--s  surely not
What you thought it would be
I--i lose myself in a daydream
Where I stand and say

CHORUS:
Donct say "yes" run away now
I'll met you when your out of the church at the back door
Don't wait or say a single vow
You need to here me out
And they said "speak now"

Fond gestures are exchange
A

nd the organ starts to play a song
That sounds like a death march
And I am hiding on the curtains
It seems that I was uninvited
By your lovely bride-to-be
She---e floats down the aisle
Like a pageant queen
But I--i kno--ow
You wish it was me (2x)
Don't you

(CHORUS 2X)

Ohooho laaaahhoh oooh (say you see me now) oooh ooh
I hear the preacher say speak now
Or forever hold you pe--ace
There's a silence, there's my last chance
I stand up with shakey hands, all eyes on me
Horrified looks from everyone in the room
But I am 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 say "let's run away now"
I'll met you when out of my tux at the back door
Baby, I didn't say my vows, so glad you were around
When they said "speak no--ow"
