Yankee & the Foreigners
[Verse 1]
All the church bells ringing
And I'm thinking back to when I met you under the tree
Well I was caught up in the moment
And I said some things that a boy shouldn't say when he's three
Like darling hold my hand
And let me be your man
We'll be the talk of the town it's true
Of all the people in the world
You know it's you that I choose
Oh girl I think I wanna marry you

[Chorus]
Oh my my, guess I'll try for the honeymoon
Give me one one-way ticket to Honolulu
If I could then I would give my love back to you
'Cause honey you'll find I'll be lying when I say I-

[Verse 2]
Ten years later we were walking home from school
And then you whispered to me
You said I wanna take it further
I'm thinking 'bout the future and where we will be
Don't you wanna settle don't you wanna fool around
And raise a few of our own
Well then I'll make a big mistake, I'll let you have your way
You're head over heels in your wedding gown

[Chorus]
Oh my my, guess I'll try for the honeymoon
Give me one one-way ticket to Honolulu
If I could then I would give my love back to you
'Cause honey you'll find I'll be lying when I say I do

Oh I'll be lying when I say I do, I do, I do

[Bridge]
Oh well now I'm here and though I fumble and I falter
I'm still standing at the altar thinking
Why don't I think things through
Same old fear
And though I think that I can trust her
I don't think that I could muster the will to say

Sweet dreams sleep tight
I won't kiss you goodnight as we're falling asleep
Across the big blue ocean
I'm losing my devotion
As you're miles and miles away from me

[Chorus]
Oh my my, guess I'll try for the honeymoon
Give me one one-way ticket to Honolulu
If I could then I would give my love back to you
'Cause honey you'll find
Yes honey you'll find

Oh my my, guess I'll try for the honeymoon
Give me one one-way ticket to Honolulu
If I could then I would give my love back to you
'Cause honey you'll find
'Cause honey you'll find

Oh my my, guess I'll try for the honeymoon
Give me one one-way ticket to Honolulu
If I could then I would give my love back to you
'Cause honey you'll find, I'll be lying when I say I do
