Saturday morning jumped out of bed and put on my best suit
Got in my car, raced like a jet, all the way to you
Knocked on your door with heart in my hand
To ask you a question
'Cause I know that you're an old-fashioned man
Yeah, yeah

Can I have your daughter for the rest of my life?
Say yes, say yes, 'cause I need to know
You say I'll never get your blessing till the day I die
Tough luck, my friend, but the answer is no!

Why you gotta be so rude
Don't you know I'm human too
Why you gotta be so rude
I'm gonna marry her anyway
Marry that girl, marry her anyway
Marry that girl, no matter what you say
Marry that girl, and we'll be a family
Why you gotta be so rude

I hate to do this, you leave no choice
I can't live without her
Love me or hate me, we will be boys
Standing at that altar
Or we will run away, to another galaxy you know
You know she's in love with me
She will go anywhere I go

Can I have your daughter for the rest of my life?
Say yes, say yes, 'cause I need to know
You say I'll never get your blessing till the day I die
Tough luck, my friend, 'cause the answer's still no!

Why you gotta be so rude
Don't you know I'm human too
Why you gotta be so rude
I'm gonna marry her anyway
Marry that girl, marry her anyway
Marry that girl, no matter what you say
Marry that girl, and we'll be a family
Why you gotta be so rude

Can I have your daughter for the rest of my life?
Say yes, say yes, 'cause I need to know
You say I'll never get your blessing till the day I die
Tough luck, my friend, but no still means no!

Why you gotta be so rude
Don't you know I'm human too
Why you gotta be so rude
I'm gonna marry her anyway
Marry that girl, marry her anyway
Marry that girl, no matter what you say
Marry that girl, and we'll be a family
Why you gotta be so rude

Why you gotta be so rude
Why you gotta be so rude
Why you gotta be so rude
