He's left you at the alter...Again
Holding a sad bouquet in your hand
Your friends all start to cry, pink dresses all inline
Everyone but you all knew, how this would end
Your mama and your papa, have left the chapel
The preacher man won't look you in the eye
But you may not see it now, in your tear-soaked wedding gown
But I think that I might just offer some advice.

Denial ain't the river in Egypt
To wash away the heartache and the blame
For a while it's been, your best-kept secret
Hiding all the sorrow and the pain.
Denial ain't the river in Egypt
It's time you know, he's gonna never change for you
Oh denial ain't the river in Egypt that's a fact
You need to tell him to never come back

He met you in a beat-up ...old sedan
Parked behind the high school with his friends
Dangerous long black hair. Underaged and drinkin' beer
If you knew then what you know now, you'd have turned and ran.
Your brother and your sister, think you're crazy
They never understood, the reason why
You keep going back to him when you know that you can't win.
It's plain to see, you'll never be his wife.

Denial ain't the river in Egypt
To wash away the heartache and the blame
For a while it's been, your best-kept secret
Hiding all the sorrow and the pain.
Denial ain't the river in Egypt
It's time you know, he's gonna never change for you
Oh denial ain't the river in Egypt that's a fact
You need to tell him to never come back
