Long ago you promised you would leave her We would raise a family of our own But years have passed and this naive believer Could be walking down the aisle all alone Long ago you swore that you'd be bringing All the tender things I'd waited for But now it seems this bride's been left a hanging Like the yellow bridal gown behind my door Long ago my mama warned me, princess Don't believe the sinful things he says are true A man who tells a lie to his only misses What's to keep that man from telling lies to you Something old, something new Something borrowed, something blue I'm getting older everyday Ain't nothing new Baby, you're still borrowed And I'm still blue
