Saturday 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
(Ye-e-ye-ye-yeah)

Can I have your daughter for the rest of my life?
Say yes, say yes 'cause I need to know

Said 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? (rude)
Don't you know I'm human too? (yeah)

Why you gotta be so rude?
I'm gonna marry him anyway

Marry that boy
Marry him anyway
Marry that boy

Yeah, no matter what you say
Marry that boy

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 boys
Standing at that altar

Or we will run away
To another galaxy, you know
You know he's in love with me
He 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's still 'no"

Why you gotta be so rude? (why you gotta be so rude?)
Don't you know I'm human too? (don't you know, you should know)
Why you gotta be so rude?

I'm gonna marry him anyway
Marry that boy
Marry him anyway

Marry that boy
No matter what you say
Marry that boy

And we'll be a family
Why you gotta be so
Rude
