Guy meets girl, he takes her home

Soon he's got red hearts by his name on her cell phone

She's waiting for the day to say, "I do"

Screaming up and down like there was nothin' to lose

I know she would've lost her mind

If little her saw that big honest smile

Thinkin' that this day would never come

Now she's growing up, maybe this is the one

She put her fears out on the line

Held back by me 'cause I was blind

Maybe it's time I realize

('Cause you were too polite to say it)

It's all she's ever dreamed about

Stayed up some nights to think of how

She already has wrote her vows

(But you were too polite to say it)

I know you wouldn't give it up

Not fair to try and call your bluff

When all you really want was love

(But you were too polite to say it)

I know I should have told you then

But I can't explain the happiness

Knowing I'll never have to miss

'Cause you were too polite to say it

One year in, they build a home

She finds her place and doesn't feel alone

Giving them just one thing left to do

I had to learn just what you're feeling now

Happiness is what they all bring around

And you're thinking that this day will never come

Now she's growing up, maybe this is the one

She put her fears out on the line

Held back by me 'cause I was blind

Maybe it's time I realize

('Cause you were too polite to say it)

It's all she's ever dreamed about

Stayed up some nights to think of how

She already has wrote her vows

(But you were too polite to say it)

I know you wouldn't give it up

Not fair to try and call your bluff

When all you really want was love

(But you were too polite to say it)

I know I should have told you then

But I can't explain the happiness

Knowing I'll never have to miss

'Cause you were too polite to say it

You were too polite to say it

She put her fears out on the line

Held back by me 'cause I was blind

Maybe it's time I realize

('Cause you were too polite to say it)

It's all she's ever dreamed about

Stayed up some nights to think of how

She already has wrote her vows

(But you were too polite to say it)

I know you wouldn't give it up

Not fair to try and call your bluff

When all you really want was love

(But you were too polite to say it)

I know I should have told you then

But I can't explain the happiness

Knowing I'll never have to miss

'Cause you were too polite to say it

You were too polite to say it
