about

Married at First Sight - a dreadful TV show that inspired this pop masterpiece.

lyrics

mafspirational

THERE’S THAT LADY, SHE’S ON TV,
SHE’S GOT THOSE CRAZY EYES,
DOESN’T CARE WHAT ANYBODY THINKS,
IT’S WHAT THE PUBLIC BUYS,

A DILATORY DILETTANTE
CONFETTI RAIN IS ALL SHE WANTS,
GOOD LIGHT ALWAYS FALLS UPON HER FACE,
NEVER SEEN WITH A HAIR OUT OF PLACE

THERE’S ONLY ONE THING SHE KNOWS FOR SURE 
SHE WON’T BE A NOBODY NO MORE 
SHES GONNA SHOW THESE FAME-HUNGRY FOOLS
SHE PLAYS THE GAME BY HER OWN RULES

SHE’S IMPULSIVE AND TEMPERAMENTAL 
HER MOTHER BEGGED HER NOT TO BE JUDGEMENTAL 
SHE’S ALREADY BOOKED THE HONEYMOON FLIGHTS
SHE’S GOT A HAPLESS GROOM IN HER SIGHTS

HE’S A SECOND-RATE CASANOVA,
JIVING HARD TO A BOSSA NOVA,
HE’S GOT BLIND AMBITION IN HIS EYES,
IN A RENTED TUX AND HIS GRANDPA’S TIE,

THOSE RICH GIRLS THEY NEVER PAY
GOOD FORTUNE ALWAYS COMES THEIR WAY
BUT THEIR AURA GIVES THE GAME AWAY
MOVIN’ ON TO THEIR NEXT PLAY

SHE’S ORDERED THE DRESS AND PICKED OUT THE RING 
THE GROOM’S MINDS ARE IN A SPIN 
BOOK THE CHURCH ALERT THE PRIEST
IT’S A TELEVISUAL RATINGS FEAST

THERE’S ONLY ONE THING SHE KNOWS FOR SURE 
SHE WON’T BE A NOBODY NO MORE 
SHES GONNA SHOW THESE FAME-HUNGRY FOOLS
SHE PLAYS THE GAME BY HER OWN RULES

THOSE RICH GIRLS THEY NEVER PAY
GOOD FORTUNE ALWAYS COMES THEIR WAY
BUT THEIR AURA GIVES THE GAME AWAY
MOVIN’ ON TO THEIR NEXT PLAY
