The Backup Boyfriend Lyrics - Emma Forman

He tells her eveyday that she is ugly 

so she won't get no silly ideas that she could do better 

They don't really like each other 

This is serious, they are getting married 

He is as gay as day is long 

but he wants a big white wedding 

and someone to bare his kids, she will do 

He will let her do what no one else could 

She's getting married to her backup 

She's getting married to her backup 

She's getting married to rainy day friend 

She's getting married to her backup boyfriend 

She wonders to herself what kind of father will he make 

He always tells lies and he is always late 

She knows that he is with someone else 

But she thinks that when this wedding comes 

everything will change, everything will be okay 

She's getting married 

She's getting married today 

It must be better than being on the self 

It must be better than being alone 

It must be better than being alone at her age 

She's getting married to her backup 

She's getting married to her backup 

She's going to marry her rainy day friend 

She's getting married 

she is going to marry her backup boyfriend 

she is going to marry her backup boyfriend
