Better You Say No
The man at the altar that is me
How I got here I cannot recall
It's urgent I tell my wife-to-be
That we should not wed at all
You think you want to marry me
But believe me that you don't
When he asks you, will you have this man?
Please tell him that you won't
It's not too late to change your mind
And let this whole thing go
I'm not the man for you, you'll find
It's better you say no
I'm not the marrying kind, my sweet
So if you become my wife
You'll find I'm a rover and a cheat
And be sorry the rest of your life
As I walked down the aisle to wed
I never thought to hear
What I was about to whisper softly
In my darling's ear
I'm not a husband kind of guy,
Like roving too much, I guess
And since I don't want to make you cry
For God's sake, don't say yes!
