Mother Of The Bride

The reverend mother went and got me a drink

She came back and said to me "well what do you think?"

I said "i've made myself a fool

For the prettiest girl in school"



How can i deal with this hurt i feel inside?

I tell it to the mother of the bride



I put on my suit and smile for the big day

But i couldn't watch as her dad gave her away

And as they solemnly said "you'll do"

Her mother said "that should have been you"



At the mercy of the moon

The boy who spoke too soon



She married him and destroyed all my hopes

Of a two-up, two-down, two point five

And a dish on the roof

For the soaps

I saw them at the hardware store

He looked boring she looked bored



It's nice to know that someone was on my side

Best wishes to the mother of the bride
