Becki Biggins - You Should Be Married by Now Lyrics

Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh, you should be married by now.

I saw my Mom last night
I could tell from her expression she was looking for a fight, she said
I know he loves you but here's the thing
It isn't something I'm imagining, when
I look at your finger and it's missing a ring, and oh,
You Should be married by now.
And she said
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh, you should be married by now.

I had my best friend on the phone
I know she's getting tired of sleeping all alone, she said
I want a wedding and a bridesmaid's dress
Too much prosecco and a boy to impress
You've got it made and it makes me depressed that oh
You could be married by now.
And she said
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh, you could be married by now.

I went to the clinic and I said hey doc,
I think I'm going crazy, all I hear is tick tock
He told me sit down, this may come as a shock.
What you're hearing's coming from your biological clock

And so I talked to my man
He said let's leave it for as long as we can.
Your mother and your friends need to stop butting in.
My patience on the subject is wearing thin, and
Why would I get married when we're living in sin, so, no
We won't get married right now.

I went somewhere quiet and I thought to myself
I've got to do what's right for me and not for anyone else.
I realise I may be left on the shelf
But do I want to be with him in sickness and health?

And then the boy came to me.
Much to my disbelief he dropped to one knee, and said
I've given it some thought and though I'm still not sure,
If you promise me things'll be the same as before.
I'd rather get hitched than see you walk out the door, so oh
Babe whaddaya say?
Do you think you could honour and obey?
And I said, babe I'm walking away.

And I said no, no, no-o-o
No! I'll never marry you now.
