All My Ex-Girlfriends Are Married - Richard Meyer
I got home last night
and I went to check the mail
There was another invitation
to a party and a wedding veil
I guess each prince has finally come
for my lovers and my friends
Well I've been down memory lane before
But I've never been to the end
[Chorus]
But now all my ex-girlfriends are married
I toss the rice and I wish 'em well
She's a good old gal
and I miss my pal
And the romantic thrust and parry
I toss the rice
I'll wish 'em well
Now that all my ex-girlfriends are married
I went to the church
It was an urban slick affair
The relatives we'd avoided
when we lived in sin were there
When the call came for objections
I stood up and I said "No"
"But when it's time to toast the bride
There's a few things you should know"
I'm not bitter or lonely
or an angry malcontent
I fell in love myself
and I know I've got the best
I've got some sentimental pictures
and phone calls make me smile
Though we did not go the distance
We sure did go in style
