The first time we met
You swore i'd fall for you

I laughed and shook my head
as if i'd never think it true

I found your personality lacking
with intellect, charm or grace

my standards weren't met
with your style nor your face

and i knew love was for fools
its fleeting and never stays

I'm practical,not a risk taker, the
attraction would be gone in days

The first time we met
you swore i'd fall for you

I laughed and shook my head
as if i'd never think it true

So why is it i'm standing here
preparing to say I do?
