Oh I'm sad to see you married
One so pretty still so strong
To a boy who loves you ne'ery one cubit more than you and I when we were both still young
But I'm tying up my tie, dear
And I will not say a word
Your satin feeling so goddamn sweet
Your wedding cake, I will eat
Your wedding cake, I will eat
I don't have a gift to bring you
No dinnerware like other guests
Just unobtrusive songs to sing you while you walk with your father as per your request
But I'm tucking in my shirt, dear
And I will not say a word
Your satin feeling so goddamn sweet
Your wedding cake, I will eat
Your wedding cake, I will eat
But when I drink up my drinks
(And you look good to me)
And I take my turn to dance
(With the tired, happy bride)
Selfish regret beneath First Methodists I declare to Jesus Christ and both of his a**ociates
I recall living together
The first roof and bed I shared
And we loved without thinking
Before I was cool or half as debonair
I just bu*toned up my coat, dear
And I will not say a word
Your satin feeling so goddamn sweet
Your wedding cake, I will eat
Your wedding cake, I will eat
Your wedding cake, I will eat
