Rude by Magic Lyrics

Saturday mornin', 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

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

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' 'tll the day I die

"Tough luck, my friend, 'cause the answer's still 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) no matter what you say

(Marry that girl) and we'll be a family

Why you gotta be so rude?

Rude

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 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

(Marry that girl) marry her anyway

(Marry that girl) no matter what you say

(Marry that girl) and we'll be a family

Why you gotta be so rude?

Oh, yeah, oh

Why you gotta be so rude?

Why? (Yeah)

Why you gotta be so rude?
