Too bad about the weather

but something even badder's gonna spoil her big day

he stands by the mirror

feelin' he's gone fifteen rounds with Cassius Clay



He hears a cockney classic

get me to the church on time - those stupid Bow Bells

she's dressed just like an angel

but very soon her heaven's gonna turn into hell



She knew all along it was wrong and she'd

better, better, better, better give it up

with a love so strong, had to carry on

better, better, better, better live it up



Church yard, he's in the bushes

nervous looking people say he must be delayed

they drive around in circles

she can see her big day slowly slippin' away



Down by the river, sanctuary (papa's snipeing, mama's wiping)

(tears away ... tears away)

deep inside, her father's happy (people leaving, disbelievin')

perfect irony



Better, better, better, better give it up



She knew all along it was wrong and she'd

better, better, better, better give it up

with a love so strong, had to carry on

better, better, better, better live it up



You could knock her down with a feather

you could knock her way on, way on

you could knock her down with a feather

you could knock her way on, way on down



Who cares about the weather

'cause something so much better happened after that day

guess what? they're together

the best man put the bride up in the family way
