well, i'm saving this dress for my wedding day

momma wouldn't have it any other way

she says when she married, her waist was twenty three

i guess i'll never wear it anyway

i don't believe i care to marry

though i cannot explain exactly why

it somehow seems to me that matrimony is misery

simply a faster way to die



i'm saving all my money for my wedding day

you know my momma wouldn't have it any other way

she says when she married, she didn't' have a dime

but i guess i'll spend that money some other way



because i don't believe i care to marry

though i cannot explain exactly why

it somehow seems to me that matrimony is misery

simply a faster way to die



well, i'm saving my best thing for my wedding day

because my poppa wouldn't have it any other way

he says if i lose it early, i'll have thrown my life away

but i swear i'll use my cherry my own way



i don't believe i care to marry

though i cannot explain exactly why

it somehow seems to me that matrimony is misery

simply a faster way to die.
