I'm Throwing Rice

I'm throwing rice at the girl that I love
After she just said I do
I'm throwing rice with a smile on my lips
But my heart is breaking in two.
She was my gal and he was my pal
But she loved him better somehow
I stepped aside after I kissed the bride
And I'm throwing rice at her now.

I'm throwing rice at the girl that I love
After she just said I do
I'm throwing rice with a smile on my lips
But my heart is breaking in two...
