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 a bridesmaid

Somewhere back inside a room

Wearing a gown shaped like a pastry

They ey ey ey ey say

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 in the ile 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



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 to be

She floats down the ile Like a pageant queen

But I know you wish it was me

You wish it was me (Don't cha)

Don't say yes run away now

I'll meet you when you're 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 you're 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

Oh Oh Oh ( said speak now )

I hear the preacher say

Speak now or forever ho old your pea ea ea eace

There's the silence there's my last chance

I stand up with shaking 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

(Ha)

So don't say yes run away now

I'll meet you when you're 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 Say

Let's run away now

I'll meet you when

I'm out of my tux at the back door

Baby I didn't say my vows

So glad you were around when they said

Speak now
