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
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
I 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 everytime time I hear your voice or footsteps
I get frozen in one 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 want to 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?
