Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Woke up this morning, jumped out of bed
Put on my best suit, got in my car, 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 and old fashion man
[Verse 2]
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 you blessing till the day I die
Tough luck, my friend, the answer is, no
[Verse 3]
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, I'll marry her any way
Marry that girl, no matter what you say
Marry that girl, we'll be a family
[Verse 4]
I hate to do this, you leave no choice
Can't live without her
Love me or hate me, we will be both
Standing at that altar
Oh, we will run away
To another galaxy, you know
She is in love with me
She will go anywhere I go
[Verse 5]
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 you blessing till the day I die
Tough luck, my friend, the answer is, no
[Verse 6]
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, I'll marry her any way
Marry that girl, no matter what you say
Marry that girl, we'll be a family
Why you gotta be so rude?
Tell me, why?
[Verse 7]
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 you blessing till the day I die
Tough luck, my friend, no still means no
[Verse 8]
Why you gotta be so rude?
Don't you know I'm human too?
Why you gotta be so rude?
I'll gonna marry her anyway
I'm gonna marry that girl
I'll marry that girl
Marry that girl
No-no-no-no
No matter what you say
I'm gonna marry that girl
Yes, oh now
Marry that girl
Marry her anyway
Marry that girl
No matter what you say
Marry that girl
We'll be a family
Why you gotta be so
I say, why you gotta be so rude
