Don't Marry That Boy

Don't marry that boy. he's gonna tear your perfect world apart.
You don't listen at all.
You say you know the score.
You've got total recall.
You've heard it all before.
I'd fade into the wall if i wasn't so sure.
And i realize you'll do what you want anyway.
And you're not gonna like it but i've still got to say...
Don't marry that boy. he's gonna leave you with a broken heart.
Don't marry that boy. he's gonna tear your perfect world apart.
If i could just get through.
If there were someone else.
He doesn't love you.
He loves himself
What i wouldn't do to stop those wedding bells.
And you know all we want is what's best for you
And we'll all still love you whatever you do.
Don't marry that boy. he's gonna leave you with a broken heart.
Don't marry that boy. he's gonna tear your perfect world apart.
And it's all been arranged so what can you do.
You tell me he's changed.
I wish it were true.
But i see the danger and i'm afraid for you.
And i know that you think that i'm being unkind.
But i wish there were some way to change your mind.
Don't marry that boy. he's gonna leave you with a broken heart.
Don't marry that boy. he's gonna tear your perfect world apart.
