I tell it to the mother of the bride
How can I deal with this hurt I feel inside?
I said, "I've made myself a fool
How can I deal with this hurt I feel inside?
But I couldn't watch as her dad gave her away
"Well, what do you think?"
I saw them at the hardware store
I put on my suit and smile for the big day
How can I deal with this hurt I feel inside?
Her mother said, "That should've been you"
For the prettiest girl in school"
Well, it's nice to know that someone was on my side
I tell it to the mother of the bride
And as they solemnly said, "You'll do"
Of a two up, two down, two point five
I tell it to the mother of the bride
And a dish on the roof for the soaps
At the mercy of the moon
He looked boring and she looked bored
The boy who spoke too soon
She married him and destroyed all my hopes
