The reverend mother went and got me a drink
She came back and said to me
"well, what do you think?"
I said, "i've made myself a fool
For the prettiest girl in school"

How can i deal with this hurt i feel inside?
I tell it to the mother of the bride

I put on my suit and smile for the big day
But i couldn't watch as her dad gave her away
And as they solemnly said, "you'll do"
Her mother said, "that should've been you"

How can i deal with this hurt i feel inside?
I tell it to the mother of the bride

At the mercy of the moon
The boy who spoke too soon

She married him and destroyed all my hopes
Of a two up, two down, two point five
And a dish on the roof for the soaps
I saw them at the hardware store
He looked boring and she looked bored

How can i deal with this hurt i feel inside?
I tell it to the mother of the bride
Well, it's nice to know that someone was on my side
Best wishes to the mother of the bride
