Why Not Me

Fred Knoblock

I뭠l take another wedding in stride
Here뭩 another June wedding
I뭢 sittin?on the bride뭩 side...again
Why do they always have to play that song?
You know the one
It뭩 funny, but we never get to sing along

Her daddy뭩 got her by one arm
I used to have her by the other
At least until she found another lover and then another

Why not me?
We had a real love
She just didn뭪 think we could put it all together
Why not me?
We had a real love
But in a flash, she뭩 gone forever

Well, I think we뭨e all here
I see Bill and Charlie
No, wait -- Eddie got smart
He had a golf game, and he just had to go to it
Why do they always have to ask that question?
You know the one
Should I speak now or forever hold my peace of mind?

Why not me?
We had a real love
She just didn뭪 think we could put it all together
Why not me?
We had a real love
But in a flash, she뭩 gone forever, gone forever

And the ceremony is grand
But old lovers never get to make a last stand
And I held some rice in my hand
I let it fall to the floor
I just don뭪 care anymore

I뭠l just get drunk at the reception
I won뭪 think about her twice
I뭠l just say, 밅ongratulations. You both look real nice, real nice.?br>
Why not me?
We had a real love
She just didn뭪 think we could put it all together
