My Baby left me at the alter
feeling kind of stupid, lonely and afraid
She left behind the made of honor
all the groomsmen and the bridesmaids
She left behind the preacher man and the church
we paid double for just to have this date
She was gone and all the signs were there
I knew my baby had finally made the break

She left behind that designer white dress
see the rip by the zipper plain as day
My baby always was a size 12
but she insisted upon a size 8
I want to tell her that i love every inch
but there's some things you just don't ever say
She spklit like that dress
oh what a mess, it's such a waste

She left behind the centerpieces, seating charts
every cousin's uncle in there place
She left behind a choice of beef bourguignon
left behind a choice of chicken fricassee
She left behind the dance the DJ
she always thought she had to look a certain way
Now she's gone and she wasn't coming back
it was clear by what she chose to take

She left behind the bride and groom figurines
licked clean of all that butter cream
It's ironic she always had a sweet tooth
but she wasn't sweet on me
Well we're defined by the choices that we make
and my baby's no different i gotta say
She's my sugar she's my sweet
I'll always love her anyway

My baby takes the cake
My baby takes the cake
My baby took the cake
My baby took the cake

Well i could follow that trail of frosting
We could run off together get away
make a living robbing bakeries .....

My baby takes the cake
My baby takes the cake
My baby took the cake
My baby took the cake

My baby takes the cake
My baby takes the cake
My baby took the cake
My baby took the cake

Fun & quirky song with interesting weird vocal delivery. Cool guitar tone...the whole song is very minimalistic and doesn't take itself too seriously.

Nice song - it tells a story and give a nice visual. It sounds good for demo. Interesting lyrics and song concept.

Cute, comical lyrics. The vocalist has an effective comic delivery. Sounds a bit like a southern Adam Sandler.
