Wedding Dress Lyrics
(words and music by derek webb)
If you could love me as a wife And for my wedding gift, your life Should that be all i'll ever need Or is there more i'm looking for
And should I read between the lines And look for blessings in disguise To make me handsome, rich, and wise Is that really what you want
(Chorus) I am a whore I do confess But I put you on just like a wedding dress And I run down the aisle I'm a prodigal with no way home But I put you on just like a ring of gold And I run down the aisle to you
So could you love this bastard child Though I don't trust you to provide With one hand in a pot of gold And with the other in your side I am so easily satisfied By the call of lovers less wild That I would take a little cash Over your very flesh and blood
(Chorus)
Because money cannot buy A husband's jealous eye When you have knowingly deceived his wife
