I am not the kind of girl
Ai am not
de caind of gerl
Who should be rudely barging in
Ju shud bi
de rudly barging in
On a white veil occasion
On a wait
vel ocashion
But you are not the kind of boy
Bat yu ar
not de cain of boy
Who should be marrying the wrong girl
Ju shud bi
merin de wrong gerl
I sneak in and see your friends
Ai snik in
an si yur frends
And her snotty little family
An jer snuti litol famly
All dressed in pastel
Al drest in pastel
And she is yelling at a bridesmaid
An shi is yelin at a braidsmed
Somewhere back inside a room
Somwere bak insai a rum
Wearing a gown shaped like a pastry
Somwere a gown sheiped like a pastrei
Somwere a gown sheiped like a pastrei
This is
Dis is
Surely not what you thought it would be
Shurli not wat yu tot it
I lose myself in a daydream
Ai lus maiself in a deydrim
Where I stand and say

Don't say yes, run away now
Don’t sei yes, run owei naw
I'll meet you when you're out
Ail mit yu wen yu ar aut
Of the church at the back door
Of de church at de back dor
Don't wait or say a single vow
Don’t weit or sei a singol vow
You need to hear me out
Yu nid to jir mi aut
And they said "speak now"
An dey sei “spik naw”
Fond gestures are exchanged
Fond yesturs ar excheinyed
And the organ starts to play
An de organ starts tu plei
A song that sounds like a deathmarch
A song dat saunds laik a
And I am hiding in the curtains
An ai em jaidin in de curteins
It seems that I was uninvited
It sims da tai wos uninvaited
By your lovely bride-to-be
Bai ur lovli braid-tu-bi
She floats down the aisle
Shi flouts dawn de aisl
Like a pageant queen.
Laik a pegant cuin
But I know you wish it was me
Bat ai now yu wish it wos mi
You wish it was me (Don't you?)
Yu wish it wos me? (don’t yu?)
Don't say yes, run away now
Don’t sei yes, run owei naw

Your time is running out

And they said, "speak now"
Oh Oh Oh! ( say a single vow.... )
I hear the preacher say
Ai jir de pricher sei
"Speak now or forever hold your peace"
“spik naw or forever jold yur pis”
There's the silence, there's my last chance
Ders de sailens, ders mai last chens
Ders de sailens, ders mai last chens
I stand up with shaking hands
Ai stend ap guit sheiking jands
All eyes on me
Ol ais on mi
Horrified looks from
Jorrifaied luks from
Everyone in the room
Everiuan in de rum
But I'm only looking at you.
Bat am onli

On a white veil occasion
On a wait vel ocashion
But you are not the kind of boy
Bat yu ar not de cain of boy
Who should be marrying the wrong girl!
