In pile of unpaid bills There's a letter sent from Philadelphia In a familiar hand, she hasn't opened it just yet There's no telling what is says Oh darling please, I'm down on one knee So why? Can't I be him, that guy in all your dreams? The one with all those qualities, impossible to achieve That man you thought I'd be So flawless, so honest, that could never be me Well that ain't me There's some flowers on her desk, Doesn't he know how embarra**ed she gets, receiving gifts She hasn't opened up her card The bouquet it says it all, that will do with baby's breath The same bouquet she caught on their first date That night he was a king He flew in town for business And ended up at the wedding They shared life stories, between drinks
She loved him so quickly, and left him just the same Yeah, he's still the same, he's still the same No, he's nothing new, but he hasn't changed Always a bridesmaid, her friends all settled down Always a bridesmaid, she dropped her bouquet on the ground They snuck out for a cigarette She said "Maybe it's the whiskey sours, but I think this could be it… …if you ask me, here and now, I think, no I know, I could make Those wedding vows, we could sneak off in the night, and… I could Be The Bride I could Be The Bride Alright, I could Be The Bride I could Be The Bride Ba ba ba da da Ba ba ba da da Ba ba ba da da Ba ba ba da da Ba ba ba da da Ba ba ba da da Ba ba ba da da Ba ba ba, ba ba ba
