Stone in your wedding ring
Is it a diamond or is it a pearl?
Colors of your bridemaids’ dresses
Green, purple, yellow or gold
Flowers thrown behind your head
The names of your future kids
You’ve got it all planned out
Down to your second girl

Do you want a house of stone?
A dog to greet you at the door
A knight in shining armor
And an old maple tree
In your front yard?

Maybe you can see it all
The wedding, the smiles, the house
Maybe it will be all you wanted
Maybe you’ll get everything you want
Maybe there’ll be no pain

Did you ever think about life, anyhow?
Nothing turns out the way we thought it would
You’ve got to understand
Nothing turns out the way we thought it would
