| "Best Man" | |
| There was darkness in your eyes as you came storming down that aisle I could see your curling lips, your dark foreboding smile I thought the day had finally come when you and I could be as one When I could give myself to you, camp myself under your thumb I'd kept my counsel for so long, while he just treated you so wrong I just ground my teeth, I chewed my lip, I bit off half my tongue I hoped before that fatal day, you'd see the errors of his ways That you'd finally find the way out of his convoluted maze Why did you stay, you could have walked right out the door Gone the other way Why did you say, "Yes I do, I do, I will....love honour obey" I thought you'd finally got the word, Finally knew the score, He'd cheat you and mistreat you, just the way he'd done before I tried to let you know girl, just as clearly as I can That what I really wanted was to be your not his best man Why did you stay, you could have walked right out that door, Gone the other way Why did you say, "Yes I do, I do, I will....love honour obey" This whole damn thing is crazy girl, this whole damn thing is strange You took him to the altar but you'll never make him change I've taken all I can girl, there's no more I can stand I really only wanted to be yours not his best man Imagine my surprise, despite the hatred in your eyes You kept on walking down that, aisle to claim your booby prize I stood alone there in the wings, fiddled with that cursed ring Then I handed it on to him, heard the congregation sing Why did you stay, you could have walked right out that door, gone the other way Why did you say, "Yes I do, I do, I will....love honour obey" Why did you stay | |
