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
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 blessin' '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) and we'll be a family
Why you gotta be so rude?
I hate to do this, you leave no choice
Can't live without her
Love me or hate me, we will be both
Standin' at that alter
Or we will run away
To another galaxy, you know
You know she's in love with me
She will go anywhere I go

Saturday mornin', jumped out of bed
I woke up early on Saturday
And put on my best suit
I dressed up in my best clothes
Got in my car and raced like a jet
I drove my car fast to get to you quickly
All the way to you
I'm coming to see you
Knocked on your door with heart in my hand
I came to your door with my heart full of love for you
To ask you a question
I have a question to ask you
'Cause I know that you're an old fashioned man
You have traditional values
Can I have your daughter for the rest of my life?
May I have your daughter's hand in marriage?
Say yes, say yes, 'cause I need to know
Please say yes because I need an answer
You say I'll never get your blessin' 'til the day I die
You won't give me your blessing ever
"Tough luck, my friend, but the answer is no"
"Unfortunately, I cannot give you my blessing"
Why you gotta be so rude?
I don't understand why you are being so unkind
Don't you know I'm human too?
Please remember that I am a person just like you
I'm gonna marry her anyway
I am still going to marry her despite your disapproval
(Marry that girl) marry her anyway
I am going to marry her no matter what
(Marry that girl) yeah, no matter what you say
Your opinion does not matter, I will marry her
(Marry that girl) and we'll be a family
Once we are married, we will be a family
I hate to do this, you leave no choice
I am not happy about this situation, but I have no other option
Can't live without her
I cannot imagine my life without her
Love me or hate me, we will be both
You may not like me, but we will be family
Standin' at that altar
We will be standing at the altar getting married
Or we will run away
Or we will elope to avoid conflict
To another galaxy, you know
We will go far away to start a new life together
You know she's in love with me
She loves me, not you
She will go anywhere I go
She will follow me anywhere
"Tough luck, my friend, 'cause the answer's still no"
"Sorry, you still cannot marry my daughter"
Why you gotta be so rude? (Oh)
I don't understand why you are being so mean
Why? (Yeah)
Why are you doing this to me?
