Rude

Woke up this morning, jumped out of bed
And put on my best suit
Got in my car and 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
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 'til 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)
Yeah, no matter what you say
(Marry that girl)
We'll be a family
I hate to do this, you leave no choice
Can't live without her
Love me or hate me, we will be both
Standing at that altar
Or we will run away to another galaxy, you know
She is 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 'til the day I die
Tough luck, my friend, 'cause 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)
I ‘ll marry her anyway
(Marry that girl)
No matter what you say
(Marry that girl)
We'll be a family
Why you gotta be so rude, rude?
Tell me why
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 'til 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
I’m gonna to marry that girl
I’ll to mary that girl
Marry that girl
Marry that girl
No matter what you say
I’m gonna to marry that girl
