Tears - I Started a Joke
Today is the day she will finally be married the man of her dreams
They had met two months earlier and he's fallen deeply in love with her, and asked her to marry him
He couldn't wait to spend the rest of his life with her
And being who he is she agreed to marry him
So glowing with joy, she's feeling so wonderful
and can't wait to see her man at the altar
Even though her family was against it
-that it's too soon to get married
-that she hardly knew him
But of course she knows he's the one
He's perfectly fit and rich
And one day she will come to love him like
she once did her high school sweetheart
Except he got fat and she had to leave him
- A fat man can't work and is just unattractive
In fact she doesn't even think of him anymore
it's been two years since she dated him
Her future husband is perfectly fit, handsome and so very rich
Just her kind of man...
Clearing her head she dolled up
Slipped into her Cinderella dress and rushed out the hotel door with her only friend
She doesn't care that her family didn't come
She's never going to forgive them
She'll be very rich soon, so she really doesn't care
Smiling and giggling
She turned to her friend and said hurry open the door
Only to step into an empty dim chapel
With a big banner hanging saying
...I'm sorry you couldn't love me because I was fat and my wallet was thin!
Tears...
