Maggie looks out her window
Sees a cab up the street
That's at her point blank whistle
And stops with a screech
She picks up the last box that sits in the corner
She turns around to take a mental photograph
Says to herself, "I think a toast is in order"
She holds up an invisible wine glass
Here's to the fool I was
Here's to the bride I could never be
(I could never be)
I gotta know what's truth and what's fiction
I gotta feel like my love's got conviction
So tell me truth 'cause I got me suspicions
I'll tell you if it's the last thing I do
I won't cry over you
(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Maggie sits in the kitchen
No, Miss Bethany Jones
Was pouring the coffee and gathering stones
You gave him ultimatums
They did not even scare him
He'd walk a plank before he'd step down the aisle
Take care of yourself, girl
He's the one who's gotta change him
Let him ponder bachelorhood for a long while
Here's to the fool I was
Here's to the bride that I'll never be
I gotta know what's truth and what's fiction
I gotta feel my love with conviction
So tell me truth 'cause I got me suspicions
I'll tell you if it's the last thing I'll do
I won't cry over you
(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
'Cause I'm done with that
I'm done with crying
It seems like it's the only thing that I've been trying
Hey, hey, yeah

She's bringing it down to the heart of the matter
They're talking the big picture like it's a little, tiny thing
Smaller than a breadbox, thinner than a whisker
They split it like an atom, then the telephone rings
He says
Here's to the fool I was
Here's to the bride that you wanted to be
I gotta know what's truth and what's fiction
(I just had to call you)
I gotta feel my love's got conviction
(I feel like I've been spinning a long way)
So tell me truth 'cause I got me suspicions
(I just had to call you)
(I'll tell you if it's the last thing I do)
I'll tell you if it's the last thing I'll do
I won't cry over you
(I'm not asking you to)
I won't cry
(If only you could see)
I won't cry
(Don't cry over me)
Cry
