Lyrics

Is it true that he'll never put a ring on you? You're abused, but is that the worst he's done to you? Oh no It's a sad time to be young Knowing the worst has just begun Meredith, do you really want to marry him? This could end up an embarrassment And you'll have to keep his name Meredith, do you think that he'll be fair with it? Because all I've heard is his disparagement towards "you and him" But time isn't on your side Is it true that he'll never put a ring on you? You're abused Is that the worst he's done to you? Oh no It's a sad time to be young Knowing the worst has just begun Meredith, I know you feel the options narrowing With no proposals, twenty's harrowing You can hear the whispers grow But Meredith, it's apparent that he's scared of it And always seconds from "the hell with it!" Don't be remiss, hanging with guys like him Please bear in mind To him that word brings back to life Decades of unending fights He's prepared for as cold a war as his parents endured So be careful when you put yourself out there When you say, "I do" He'll say, "I do not know" He'll never put a ring on you It's a sad time to be young Knowing the worst has just begun Yeah, the worst has just begun Knowing the worst has just begun
