I Didn't Wear White - Nancy Sinatra

Shame, shame little girl, I would her say

No cookies for you today, you better go outside and play

Or you won’t wear white on your wedding day

Well I was 16, the phone would ring, we’d say I know it’s Romeo

All the kids are down by the lake, hey baby do you wanna go

We’ll laugh and dance and make romance and no one has to know

She’s say one, twice, girl you better be nice

Don’t trust that boy named Ray

He’ll use you up and throw you away

And you won’t wear white on your wedding day

How I wish I didn’t know now what I didn’t know then

What you told our family, what you told our friends

In her house, you know I couldn’t stay

I couldn’t look at her, I had to look away

And I didn’t wear white on my wedding day

Mama’d say one, twice, girl you better be nice

Don’t trust that boy named Ray

He’ll use you up and throw you away and you

Won’t wear white on your wedding day

And I didn’t wear white on my wedding day

No I didn’t wear white on my wedding day
