Oh Maria, I'm so sorry I wrecked your wedding
You've just got to believe me
But just the thought of you takin' your clothes off
for that jerk
Oh, it got me drinkin' and then suddenly I'm
staggerin' into church
And I'm dancin' like Baryshnikov all across the high altar
Oh I bet that you're still mortified
But just think, girl,
No one's ever gonna be forgettin'
The day I wrecked your wedding
Oh Maria, I'd get down on my knees, girl,
You've just gotta believe me
But just the sight of you standin' there in your
brand new wedding dress
Oh, it got me so upset and then your father's screamin'
"You no good lousy punk
I always knew you were a drunk"
And your mother, she's havin' her
19th nervous breakdown
But just think girl
No one's ever gonna be forgettin'
The day I wrecked your wedding
Oh Maria, I'd do anything you asked me to,
I swear I'll change,
I'll even give up drinkin', hangin' out with the boys,
'Cause I just can't live without yur body and you
Oh Maria, I'll even sell my strat, give up the band
You better believe me, girl, this time it's true
Oh Maria, I'll even go out and get a job for you
Oh Maria, I'm so sorry I wrecked your wedding
You just got to believe me
But 10 years from now this is goin' to be
one big happy memory
Oh your old man he's even gonna grow to love me,
I'll give him 6 grandchildren
I'll be so respectable, I might even run for president, I
will be so electable, I'll keep you happy and
expectable and forever pregnant
That way you'll never be forgettin' -
the day I wrecked your wedding
