Fred Knoblock - Why Not Me lyrics

I'll take another wedding in stride Here's another June wedding I'm sitting on the bride's side again Why do they always have to play that song? You know the one It's funny But we never get to sing along Her daddy's got her by one arm I used to have her by the other At least until she found another lover And then another Why not me? We had a real love She just didn't think we could put it all together Why not me? We had a real love But in a flash, shes gone forever Well, I think were all here I see Bill and Charlie No, wait Eddie got smart He had a golf game and he just had to go to it Why do they always have to ask that question? You know the one Should I speak now or forever hold my peace of mind? Why not me? We had a real love She just didn't think we could put it all together Why not me? We had a real love But in a flash She's gone forever, gone forever And the ceremony is grand But old lovers never get to make a last stand And I held some rice in my hand I let it fall to the floor I just dont care anymore I'll just get drunk at the reception I won't think about her twice I'll just say congratulations You both look real nice, real nice Why not me? We had a real love She just didn't think we could put it all together
