Wedding Bells Lyrics - Godley And 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 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 

those wedding bells
