Beige

Mama planned it all
Said it's pretty in the fall

And the flowers would be
Roses and daisies

And she prayed nobody saw

The weight that I put on

The bride shouldn't be

4 months and 3 weeks

Daddy's pride and joy

Is marrying some boy

And he looked afraid

The preacher turned the page

And I was wearing beige

Nowhere Baptist church

Wrinkles in his shirt

No one's having a ball
At the reception hall

And we didn't take no honeymoon
With what we've got ourselves into
A quick "I do" and then
Back home again

Daddy's pride and joy

Was marrying some boy

Now everyone in this place
Knows I didn't wait

Cause I was wearing beige

I was wearing beige
