Bridesmaid

I was laid back sipping Dom,
waiting for my beer,
watching you across the lawn,
girl I almost shed a tear.

Cause I have yet to see you smile,
you don’t have much to say,
and once they’re set to walk the aisle,
you’re after the bouquet.

I don’t know what that’s about,
this is no time for dismay.
It makes it hard to check you out,
with you looking that way.

Everyone’s in black and white,
but you’re feeling blue,
if you come with me tonight,
I’ll see what we can do.

Chorus:
Cause I know it’s not your night,
you’re not the one who’s dressed in white,
but hey baby it’s alright,
we’ll make it ‘til the sun’s in sight.
And I know it’s not your day,
but we can do it anyway,
dance to what the DJ plays,
“Electric Slide,” well that’s okay.

Bridge 1:
I don’t have no diamond ring,
and I can’t buy you anything,
I just have this song to sing,
and some time to kill.

Toss out those borrowed dreams,
they look a little tight.
Put away your faded schemes,
and step into tonight.

Everything’s so nice and fake,
and we can eat for free,
for dessert there’s chocolate cake,
and afterwards there’s me.

We don’t need a lasting bond,
if everything stays new,
leave the priest to speak of God,
some things he just can’t do.

The flower girls are crying,
the cameraman’s at bay,
when all eyes are on the bride,
that’s when we slip away.

Chorus

Bridge 2/Outtro:
Girl don’t you know
there’s no reason to frown,
put the cake in the trunk
and we’ll get out of town.
