last year nearly all my friends got married

this year those remaining followed suit

well, Ive learned to feign rapture

over what the photos capture

while secretly envying the

wedding present loot



and though Ive had offers to tie the knot

and trot down the aisle to the altar

I must have some block

for when I look at that knot

you know it seems to turn into a halter



though I sometimes let myself fantasize

about honeymoons under Parisian skies

and I once went so far

as to think about buying a dress

but when it comes to the final reckoning

and that little love nest is beckoning

I bolt like a runaway pony in distress

I guess Im just a girl who cant say yes



and these days divorce and marriage

go together like a horse and carriage

though you were sure it was true love at the start

but whats the use of saying I do

if two years later youre through

even if you get to keep the Cuisinart



and though I dont believe any more that Mr. Right

is waiting to claim me some starry night

I cant seem to make myself settle for anyone less

I guess, Im just a girl who cant say yes

ah...no

like Siamese twins

like a pair of shoes

like Noahs menagerie

everyone comes in twos these days but me

I guess, Im a just a girl who cant say

Im a just a girl who cant say

Im a just a girl who cant say ... yes

ah...no
