I am not the kind of girl

Who should be rudely barging in
C
On a white veil occasion
G

Am
C
Who should be marrying the wrong girl
G

I sneak in and see your friends

And her snotty little family
C
All dressed in pastel
G

And she is yelling at a bridesmaid

Somewhere back inside a room

Wearing a gown shaped like a pastry

Of the church at the back door

By your lovely bride-to-be

When they said "Speak no--ow"
