I should have told you all I wanted was to have some fun
But you wanted me to be the permanent one yes you did
…You always stop me when I go to far
I should have known you...waiting for those wedding bells
Those wedding bells oh we could talk all night but you wouldn't understand
The only words you wanna here is will you take this man
…You should have known that I was only window shopping 
It's my clumsy way of saying…those wedding bells
Tho-ose wedding bells
And I could swear…I don't belong here baby
…I don't belong to you baby
Oh you say it's not important but I know what you're thinking
Cause evry time we do something you're busy…
In the back of my mind I know you'll always be waiting 
For those wedding bells, those wedding bells 
I knew I should have told you what I wanted was to have some fun
But you wanted me to be the permanent one
…..those wedding bells, wedding bells, those wedding bells
