Rude
runaground Lyrics

Saturday morning jumped out of bed
The singer was energized and excited to start his day.

And put on my best suit
He dressed up to impress the person he was going to see.

Got in my car and raced like a jet
He hurried to get there as quickly as possible.

All the way to you
The person he was going to see was very important to him.

Knocked on your door with heart in my hand
He was nervous and vulnerable when he approached the person's door.

To ask you a question
He had a very important question to ask the person.

'Cause I know that you're an old-fashioned man, yeah
The person he was talking to had traditional values.

Can I have your daughter for the rest of my life?
He wanted to marry the person's daughter and spend the rest of his life with her.

Say yes, say yes 'cause I need to know
He needed a clear answer from the person, as this was important to him.

You say I'll never get your blessing 'til the day I die
The person was not going to approve of their relationship ever.

Tough luck, my friend, but the answer is 'No'
The answer was a firm 'No'.

Why you gotta be so rude?
The singer was frustrated with the person's refusal to accept him.

Don't you know I'm human too?
He wanted the person to treat him with the same respect and dignity as anyone else.

I'm gonna marry her anyway
The singer was determined to marry the person's daughter regardless of their disapproval.

Marry that girl

Marry her anyway
He was going to marry her no matter what the person said.

Yeah, no matter what you say
Their disapproval would not change his mind.

And we'll be a family
He was looking forward to building a family with the person's daughter.

Why you gotta be so
He continued to express his frustration with the person's attitude.

Rude, yeh oh
He kept emphasizing how rude the person was being.

I hate to do this, you leave no choice

Can't live without her
He couldn't imagine his life without the person's daughter.

Love me or hate me we will be boys
He hoped that the person could still respect him despite their differences.

Standing at that altar
He was envisioning marrying the person's daughter.

Or we will run away
In extreme cases, they may choose to elope.

To another galaxy, you know
The person can't stop their love, even if they had to leave the planet to be together.

She's in love with me
He was confident in the strength of their relationship.

She will go anywhere I go
He was certain that the person's daughter would follow him wherever he went.

But 'No' still means 'No'!
He accepted the answer, but wanted to emphasize that he had made his own decision.

Why you gotta be so
His frustration with the person's rudeness continued.

Rude
The person's behavior was unacceptable and disrespectful.

Gotta be so rude?
