Don't Marry Him

When we met you told me
You were running from your past
It’s crazy how a life can change
From good to bad so fast
And you sent invitations out
And picked up your new dress
And then you found
Another woman lying in his bed
Don’t marry him
Don’t marry him
And I will always listen
When you need someone to tell
And I like everything about you
That you don’t like yourself
We spent four days at my house
And all you did was laugh
But I don’t think we knew
How good it was, the thing we had
Because I loved you, I think
But that was not enough
What you needed from me
Was a whole lot more than love
Call it bad timing, or call it bad luck
But I was not surprised
When we lost touch
Don’t marry him
Don’t marry him
Six months later I found out
That you’d met someone new
I started to resent him
Then I realized there’s no use
You called me this afternoon
With news I had to hear
You said, «I just got engaged
And I’ll be married within a year»
She said, «I loved you, I think
But that was way back then
What I needed from you
We both know I could not get
But you saved me, I think
Yes, you saved me, I think
And I’m happy that we met.»
Don’t marry him
Don’t marry him
Don’t marry him
Don’t marry him
