( Stood-up wedding song lyrics )
( SHE WAS A )
NO SHOW AT THE ALTAR
Copyright © 2011 - MickTerry.com
On 
YouTube, performed LIVE by MICK TERRY (soon!)
She knows how much I hate tuxes:
a gorilla in a penguin suit at best.
She knows there's not so much sucks as
much as people trying to show off & impress.
But I was willing to put up with it all.
Roses, gardenias, carnations.
Ushers, bridesmaids & our fam'lies in the church.
Preacher just twiddling thumbs, waiting
with a couple hundred people in the lurch.
But I was willing to put up with it all
'til I was stood up on our wedding day.
SHE WAS A NO SHOW AT THE ALTAR.
I guess there's no going on- from here.
SHE WAS A NO SHOW AT THE ALTAR.
Living together fine for three years,
'til she gets it in her mind she wants to wed.
Coaxing, cajoling, bending my ears.
I say whatever just to get her back in bed.
But I was willing to put up with it all
'til I was stood up on our wedding day.
CHORUS
We've reached the point of no return.
There's no turning back & I'm not returning gifts.
We've reached the point of no return.
Never liked her fam'ly all that much
& I'm not putting up with this.
Dance band all set to play reception.
Catered banquet would have gone to such a waste.
Party with friends & all my fam'ly.
That her parents had to pay was a sweeter taste.
But I was willing to put up with it all
'til I was stood up on our wedding day.
CHORUS

To other breakup love song lyrics:
THAT KEY
BACKING UP
ON THE ROPES
MORNING LIGHT
HIDDEN CORNERS
GET THE FEELING
WISHFUL DRINKING
MAYBE WE'VE HURT
THAT'S GOTTA HURT
TALKING TO MYSELF
YOU WERE THE BEST
DON'T TRY TO TELL ME
YOU CAN TAKE MY BODY
I SOLD MY WIFE ON eBAY
MY EX-'S NEW BOYFRIEND
GOODBYE WAS ALL SHE WROTE
GUESS WHAT I FOUND 'NEATH THE DIRTY FRIDGE?
