Speak Now sing and play along

I am not the kind of girl

who should be rudely bargin' in on a white veil occasion,

but you are not the kind of boy

who should be marryin' 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 yes, run 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.

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 that I was uninvited by your lovely bride tobe.

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 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 yes, run 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 is running out, and they said speak now.

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 shaking hands,

all eyes on me.

Horrified looks from ev'ryone in the room,

but I'm only looking at you.

I am not the kind of girl

who should be rudely bargin' in on a white veil occasion,

but you are not the kind of boy

who should be marryin' the wrong girl.

So don't say yes, run 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, "Let's run away now.

I'll meet you 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."
