Baby’s Getting Married Today

Baby’s getting married today, in a church down by the bay.
No, I wasn’t invited to go, but I don’t think I’d be going anyway.
Baby said we just needed space to get back to where we’d been,
but too much distance and time has gone by
and now we’ll never be together again.
It’s been a long time, but I guess I was hoping
she’d come to her senses and come back home,
Baby’s getting married today
and now, I’ll really be alone.

Baby’s getting married today, to some high-power business man they say.
I never got introduced to that guy, but I’ve no desire to meet him anyway.
Baby must have been beguiled or hypnotized
by him and his station in life,
for her to drop and forget all we had and fall in love in the blink of an eye.
Could she love him; knowing him for such a short time?
It’s not like her, but I don’t know.
Baby’s getting married today
and now, I’m really alone.

“Baby’s getting married today.” Just saying those words hurts my head.
And what things could I possibly say now
that at some time didn’t already get said?
Baby was always so danged sure that thing’d be fine eventually.
Fine for her, but I’m still trying to figure out
how to go about without the “her” in me.
It’s been a long time, but I assumed before too long
she’d change her mind and come back home,
Baby’s getting married today
so I’ll just have to get used to being alone.

Baby’s getting married today,
and it’s all my fault that things went this way.
I guess I never realized how much she meant to me
I never really told her how much I loved her
and now she’s gone away.

There’s an emptiness in my heart that has nowhere to go,
and she was the reason I called this place home,
Hey Baby’s getting married today,
and now I’m gonna have to get used to being alone; being alone.

Baby’s getting married today. Baby’s getting married today.
Baby’s getting married today. Baby’s getting married today.
