The Backup Boyfriend

from I wish you loved me by Emma Forman

/

lyrics

He tells her eveyday that she is ugly
so she won't get no silly ideas that she could do better
They don't really like each other
This is serious, they are getting married

He is as gay as day is long
but he wants a big white wedding
and someone to bare his kids, she will do
He will let her do what no one else could

She's getting married to her backup
She's getting married to her backup
She's getting married to rainy day friend
She's getting married to her backup boyfriend

She wonders to herself what kind of father will he make
He always tells lies and he is always late
She knows that he is with someone else
But she thinks that when this wedding comes
everything will change, everything will be okay

She's getting married
She's getting married today

It must be better than being on the self
It must be better than being alone
It must be better than being alone at her age
She's getting married to her backup
She's getting married to her backup
She's going to marry her rainy day friend
She's getting married
she is going to marry her backup boyfriend
she is going to marry her backup boyfriend
