I Knew the Bride Lyrics & Tabs by Nick Lowe
I Knew the Bride
guitar chords lyrics
Well the bride looked a picture
In the gown that her mama wore
When she was married herself
Nearly 27 years before
They had to change the style a little
But it looked just fine
Stayed up all night
But they got it finished just in time
Now on the arm of her daddy
She's walkin' down the aisle
I see her catch my eye
And give me a secret smile
Maybe it's too old fashioned
But we once were close friends
Oh but the way that she looks today
Maybe it's too old fashioned
But we once were close friends
Oh but the way that she looks today
She never could've then
Well I can see her now
In her tight blue jeans
Pumpin all her money
In the record machine
Spinnin' like a top
You should have seen her go
[Chorus:]
I knew the bride
When she used to rock'n'roll
I knew the bride
When she used to rock'n'roll
I knew the bride
When she used to rock'n'roll
I knew the bride
When she used to rock'n'roll
Well her proud daddy
Only wanna give his little girl the best
An so he ut down a grand
On a cosy ittle lover's nest
You could have called her reception
An unqualified success
At a flash hotel
For a 150 guests
Well take a look at the bridegroom
Smillin' pIeased as pie
Shakin' hands all around
With a glassy look in his eye
He got a real good job
An his shirt and tie is nice
But I remember a time
When she never would've looked
at him twice
Well I can see her now
Drinkin' with the boys
Breakin' their hearts
Like they were toys
She used to do the pony
Used to do the stroll
[Chorus]
Well I can see her now
With her Walkman on
Jumpin' up and down
To her favorite song
I still remember when she used to
Want to make a lot of noise
Hoppin' and a boppin'
With the street corner boys
She used to want to party
Used to want to go
