lyrics

My necktie was as crooked as the look on my face
I ‘bout choked myself just to fix it up straight
Speak now said the preacher
or forever hold your peace
I felt like such a liar
Sittin’ quiet in my seat

I never thought fate could be wrong
But I feel so strong
Ain’t nothin’ holy
‘bout this matrimony

At the reception in your fearful eyes
I saw as we danced the same question in mine
as I looked in the mirror cryin’ why Lord why
did you let me love someone who wasn’t mine

I never thought fate could be wrong
But I feel so strong
Ain’t nothin’ holy ‘bout this matrimony

Oh Jesus I do not love you enough
if this how it feels to be in love with us
You give everything for the love of your life
then watch as she swoons for another groom’s lies

I never thought fate could be wrong
But I feel so strong
Ain’t nothin’ holy ‘bout this matrimony
Hey hey
Ain’t nothin’ holy

You know you better speak now
or forever hold your peace
You better speak now
or forever hold your peace
You better speak now
or forever hold
Forever hold
Or never hold
Or never hold
Or never hold
Never hold your love
Oh no
Oh no never hold your love
Do you
Please don’t
Never hold your love
Oh no
Ain’t nothin’ holy
