The Worst That Could Happen

B.J. Thomas · Other Songs - B.J. Thomas

Girl, I heard you're getting married

Girl, I heard you're getting married

This time you're really sure

And this is the end

They say you really mean it

This guy's the one that makes you feel

So safe, so sane and so secure

And baby if he loves you more than me

And baby if he loves you more than me

Maybe it's the best thing

Maybe it's the best thing for you

But it's the worst that could happen to me.

I'm never gettin' married, never gettin' married

You know that's not my scene

But a girl like you needs to be married

I've known all along you couldn't live forever

In between.

And baby if he loves you more than me

And baby if he loves you more than me

Maybe it's the best thing

Maybe it's the best thing for you

But it's the worst that could happen to me.

And girl I don't really blame you

For having a dream of your own

Hey girl I don't really blame you

A woman like you needs a house and a home.

Baby if he really loves you more than me

Maybe it's the best thing

Maybe it's the best thing for you

But it's the worst that could happen to me.

Oh girl don't want to get married

Girl I'm never, never gonna marry

Oh it's the worst thing that could happen

Oh girl
