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've been you"



How can I deal with this hurt I feel inside?

I tell it to the mother of the bride



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 and she looked bored



How can I deal with this hurt I feel inside?

I tell it to the mother of the bride

Well, it's nice to know that someone was on my side

Best wishes to the mother of the bride
