[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Well, Iāve tied more knots than a sailor in heat,
Watched lovebirds coo and skip down the street.
Iāve cried happy tears with a waterproof lash,
And caught more bouquets than a Vegas c***h.
(spoken aside)
"Always the catcher, never the bride. Story of my Spanx-clad life."
They kiss, they swoon, they ride into bliss,
While I head home to a take-out dish.
I sing of love with a rhinestone grin...
But my glitterās wearing thin.
[Verse 2]
Iāve married straights and gays and throuples galore,
Gave speeches so moving, folks wept on the floor.
But lately the sparkle is feeling contrived,
Like Iām officiating everyoneās dream but mine.
(spoken aside)
"You ever toast a couple while mentally Googling, āHow to hex an ex?ā Just me?"
Champagne toasts, they clink and cheer,
Meanwhile I age like fine... store-brand beer.
Is it love Iām sellinā or just a show?
Honestly, I donāt even know.
[Verse 3]
They pledge forever with trembling hands,
While I stand solo in sequined spandex pants.
They promise always, they whisper true...
But whoās gonna whisper back to you?
(spoken)
"I mean, Alexa doesnāt count. And sheās so judgmental."
Iāve seen āem c***h, Iāve seen āem cheat,
Still, I glue on my lashes and flash my feet.
Loveās a number ā Iāve lost the count,
But whereās my damn discount amount?!
[Verse 4]
So here I am, your Queen of āI Do,ā
But whoās gonna say those words to me, too?
I joke, I jive, I vamp, I play...
But my heartās on clearance every wedding day.
(spoken, softer)
"Maybe Iām not bitter. Just... pickled in other peopleās happy endings."
Still, tomorrowās cake might taste brand new,
And hopeās a color in my glitter glue.
So bring on the veil, the kiss, the flair...
Iāll fake it fierce ātil love is there.
(spoken with a wink)
"And if not? I still look damn good in a cathedral train."
āŖ Here comes the briiiiide... again! āŖ
