Ten years out of high school
Still no idea what to do
You took him home from a nightclub
He took a nightclub to you
Now I watch from the window
Too guilty to scream
My feet are like steel
I might be in a dream
But every time I see you
You look bigger than you did the day before
And even though I know it's not my fault
I wish it was
I can only ride the elevator all night long
From floor to floor
And I can only stand outside your window
In the dust
So how about a shotgun wedding?
What about your dignity?
What about a different setting?
What about me?
All your daddy's wishes honored
All of that security
How about a shotgun wedding?
What about me?
I guess I'm a loner
Some call me a freak
Saw you in the hallway
Too guilty to speak
Now I sleep in the daytime
And I sleep on the floor
I dial your number
And I knock on your door
But every time I hear your voice or footsteps
I get frozen in my place
And I have to struggle for the courage
Just to run
I can see the eyes of all the ones that left you
Glowing in your face
And I just wanna help you with this life
That you've begun
So how about a shotgun wedding?
What about your dignity?
What about a different setting?
What about me?
All your daddy's wishes honored
All of that security
What about a shotgun wedding?
What about me?
What about a shotgun wedding?
What about me?
What about me?
