Today I'm dressed all in white
Make up done, curls are fixed
Today is supposed to be
The happiest day of my life
Bells are ringing, guests are waiting
The church is filled with strangers
Checking their watches, where's the food?
Costumes ironed, script known by heart
I see your mask, a clever piece of art
What if I ran away and let them wait forever
What if I didn't play a well behave character
As soon as I'll leave the room
I'll pretend to be a perfect young lady
The perfect young lady that isn't me
As soon as I'll leave the room
I'll pretend to be a perfect young lady
The perfect young lady that isn't me
Chugging gin, a forbidden cig
From the mirror, my reflection says
"You'll soon be a Madame"
Who would have thought?
Pearls could replace my leather and my spikes
What if I ran away to start a brand new chapter
What if I didn't play
I know I'll never be the main character
As soon as I'll leave the room
I'll pretend to be a perfect young lady
The perfect young lady that isn't me
As soon as I'll leave the room
I'll pretend to be a perfect young lady
The perfect young lady that isn't me
My daddy's calling me
From the other side of the door
The proud stage director
Is about to open the curtains
It's time, show must go on
And if I were to break the rules
I will never be the perfect young lady
The perfect young lady that isn't me
If I choose not to join the groom
I will never be the perfect young lady
The perfect young lady that isn't me
