Better You Say No - Fiddler's Green

The man at the altar that is me

How I got here I cannot recall

It’s urgent I tell my wife-to-be

That we should not wed at all

You think you want to marry me

But believe me that you don’t

When he asks you, «Will you have this man?»

Please tell him that you won’t

It’s not too late to change your mind

And let this whole thing go

I’m not the man for you, you’ll find

It’s better you say no

I’m not the marrying kind, my sweet

So if you become my wife

You’ll find I’m a rover and a cheat

And be sorry the rest of your life

You think you want to marry me

But believe me that you don’t

When he asks you, «Will you have this man?»

Please tell him that you won’t

It’s not too late to change your mind

And let this whole thing go

I’m not the man for you, you’ll find

It’s better you say no

It’s not too late to change your mind

And let this whole thing go

I’m not the man for you, you’ll find

It’s better you say no

As I walked down the aisle to wed

I never thought to hear

What I was about to whisper softly

In my darling’s ear

I’m not a husband kind of guy

Like roving too much, I guess

And since I don’t want to make you cry

For God’s sake, don’t say yes!

It’s not too late to change your mind

And let this whole thing go

I’m not the man for you, you’ll find

It’s better you say no

It’s not too late to change your mind

And let this whole thing go

I’m not the man for you, you’ll find

It’s better you say no
