"Wedding Bells" lyrics

"Wedding Bells"

Ooh yeah

I should have told you all I wanted was to have some fun
(To have some fun)
But you wanted me to be the permanent one
(The permanent one)
Yes you did
Now when we're in the movies or the back of a car
You always stop me when I go too far
I should have known you'd always keep me waiting
For those wedding bells (Wedding bells)
Those wedding bells (Wedding bells)

Oh, we could talk all night but you won't understand
(Don't leave me in the lurch today)
The only words you want to hear are "Do you take this man?"
(In church today)
Does the lull in conversation mean the penny's droppin'?
You should have known that I was only window shoppin'
It's my clumsy way of sayin' that we should be stoppin'
Those wedding bells (Wedding bells)
Those wedding bells (Wedding bells)

I'm like a square peg in a round hole
I don't belong here baby
Don't need a fanfare or a drum roll
To tell you baby
I don't belong to you baby

Oh, you say it's not important but I know what you're thinkin'
'Cause every time we kiss I feel your kisses stingin'
In the back of my mind I know you'll always be ringin'
Those wedding bells (Wedding bells)
Those wedding bells

I knew I should have told you all I wanted was to have some fun
(That was yesterday)
But you wanted me to be the permanent one
(Say yes today)
Oh, I'd do it but the pleasure isn't worth the pain
We'd run out of track before we got on the train
Can't you hear the sound of heartstrings snappin' under the strain
Of those wedding bells? (Wedding bells)
Those wedding bells (Wedding bells)
Those wedding bells (Wedding bells)
Those wedding bells (Wedding bells)
