I am not the kind of girl,
Who should be rudely bargin' in on a white veil occasion,
But tu 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 vestido shaped like a pastry,
This is surely not what tu 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 tu when you're out,
Of the church at the back door,
Don't wait o say a single vow,
tu 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 I was uninvited por your lovely bride-to-be,
She floats down the aisle like a pageant queen,
But I know tu wish it was me,
tu wish it was me, don't you?
Don't say yes, run away now,
I'll meet tu when you're out,
Of the church at the back door,
Don't wait o say a single vow,
tu need to hear me out,
And they said, "Speak now"
Don't say yes, run away now,
I'll meet tu when you're out,
Of the church at the back door,
Don't wait o say a single vow,
Your time is running out,
And they said, "Speak now"
I hear the preacher say,
"Speak now o 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 everyone in the room,
But I'm only lookin' at you
I am not the kind of girl,
Who should be rudely bargin' in on a white veil occasion,
But tu are not the kind of boy,
Who should be marryin' the wrong girl
Don't say yes, run away now,
I'll meet tu when you're out,
Of the church at the back door,
Don't wait o say a single vow,
tu need to hear me out,
And they said, "Speak now"
And tu say, "Let's run away now,
I'll meet tu when I'm out of my tux at the back door,
Oh baby, I didn't say my vow,
So glad tu were around when they said, "Speak now"
Who should be rudely bargin' in on a white veil occasion,
But tu 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 vestido shaped like a pastry,

I don't know what I want, so don't ask me
Cause I'm still trying to figure it out
Don't know what's down this road, I'm just walking
Trying to see through the rain coming down
Even though I'm not the only one
Who feels the way I do
[Chorus:]
I'm alone, on my own, and that's all I know
I'll be strong, I'll be wrong, oh but life goes on
I'm just a girl, trying to find a place in
This world
Got the radio on, my old blue jeans
And I'm wearing my corazón on my sleeve
Feeling lucky today, got the sunshine
Could tu tell me what más do I need
And tomorrow's just a mystery, oh yeah
But that's ok
[Repeat Chorus]
Maybe I'm just a girl on a mission
But I'm ready to fly
[Repeat Chorus]
Cause I'm still trying to figure it out
Don't know what's down this road, I'm just walking
Trying to see through the rain coming down
Even though I'm not the only one
Who feels the way I do
[Chorus:]
I'm alone, on my own, and that's all I know
I'll be strong, I'll be wrong, oh but life goes on
I'm just a girl, trying to find a place in
This world
Got the radio on, my old blue jeans
And I'm wearing my corazón on my sleeve
Feeling lucky today, got the sunshine
Could tu tell me what más do I need
And tomorrow's just a mystery, oh yeah
But that's ok
[Repeat Chorus]
Maybe I'm just a girl on a mission
But I'm ready to fly
[Repeat Chorus]
