Never the Bride is about a girl who’s content with watching all her friends get married not able or wanting to find the right partner for herself.
[Verse 1]
I'm happy for your new car, job and promotion
Baby in your belly and devoted husband
I always stepped aside
For you to be the first in line
Everybody tells me I gotta try harder
If I want to find the perfect partner
But I attract the type
Mm, that my momma don’t like
Am I supposed to follow
[Chorus]
Never the bride, always the bridesmaid
Don't try to have it all my way
These lights, are too bright
Take the big ol' spotlight off my face
And i’ll shine right on the back seat
And I like, cruisin' the side streets
I don't mind it i'm
Never the bride, always the bridesmaid
Always the bridesmaid
[Verse 2]
All i've ever known is second-hand dresses
Hand me down shoes I never made the distance
Never had nothing new
Cause I didn't have to
Every single time that the bouquet's flying
The girls go wild and I go hiding
I sneak out the back
I never wanted that
[Chorus]
Never the bride, always the bridesmaid
Don't try to have it all my way
These lights, are too bright
Take the big ol’ spotlight off my face
And i’ll shine right on the back seat
And I like, cruisin' the side streets
I don’t mind it i'm
Never the bride, always the bridesmaid
Always the bridesmaid
Always the bridesmaid
[Bridge]
Am I supposed to follow, yeah
I was never one to follow
[Chorus]
Never the bride, always the bridesmaid
Don't try to have it all my way
These lights, are too bright
Take the big ol' spotlight off my face
And i’ll shine right on the back seat
And I like, cruisin' the side streets
I don't mind it i'm
Never the bride, always the bridesmaid
Always the bridesmaid
Oh, never the bride
Always the bridesmaid
Always the bridesmaid
