Wedding Bells Lyrics

Track: Wedding Bells

Artist: Godley & Creme

Written by: Kevin Godley; Lol Creme

I should have told you

All I wanted was to have some fun

But you wanted me

To be the permanent one

Yes you did

Now when we're in the movies

Or the back of a car

You always stop me

When I go too far

I should have known

You'd always keep me waiting

For those wedding bells

Those wedding bells

Oh we could talk all night

But you won't understand

(don't leave me in the lurch today)

The only words you want to hear are

"Do you take this man?"

(in the church today)

Does the lull in conversation

Mean the penny's droppin'

You should have known

That I was only window shoppin'

It's my clumsy way of sayin'

That we should be stoppin'

Those wedding bells

Those wedding bells

I'm like a square peg in a round hole

I don't belong here baby

Don't need a fanfare or a drum role

To tell you baby

I don't belong to you baby

Oh you say it's not important

But I know what you're thinkin'

'Cos every time we kiss

I feel your kisses stingin'

In the back of my mind I know

You'll always be ringin'

Those wedding bells

Those wedding bells

I knew I should have told you

All I wanted was to have some fun

(that was yesterday)

But you wanted me to be

The permanent one

(say yes today)

Oh I'd do it but the pleasure

Isn't worth the pain

We'd run out of track

Before we got on the train

Can't you hear the sound of heartstrings

Snappin' under the strain

Of those wedding bells

Those wedding bells

Those wedding bells
