Lyrics
(Verse 1)
I showed up at your wedding, snuck in about half past three
I guess I was the last person you expected to see
You could have seen our jaws drop, when you came waltzing in
With that sexy white dress and wearing a big ol' grin
The fellow next to me said "wouldn't you want to be in his shoes" -- and I said I used to
(Chorus)
It could have been me saying those "I Do's"
It could have been me making love on that honeymoon
It could have been me you were dreaming about the rest of your life
It could have been me openin up those presents
It could have been me you were having that first dance with
It could have been me saying those "I Do's" - Instead of I used to
(Verse 2)
Everything was running smoothly, just the way you had planned for years
Your daddy giving you away your momma giving way to tears
Then the minister asked us, "does anyone object to what they are about to do"
I stood up and told the congregation - I used to
(Repeat Chorus)
(Verse 3)
It was all in chaos It had just hit the fan
Then I realized I hadn't quite thought out this plan
As they were showing me out those front doors, I thought I overheard somebody say
Don't you have any self respect left in you - I looked up from the payment and said...well...I used to
(Repeat Chorus)
