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 in and see your friends And her snotty little family all dressed in pastel And she is yelling at her 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 your 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 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 your 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 your 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 a 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 your 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 when I'm out of my tux at the back door Baby, I didn't say my vows, I'm so glad you were around When they said speak now"
