I'm all dressed up
I've got your ring
I've thought about this day since we were seventeen
And here you come
And here I stand
It's killing me I'm not the one
Who slips it on your hand

Chorus:
You're not the one I grow old with
You're not the one I'll always kiss
You're not the one I run home to
But you're the one that I will always miss.
And even though I'm the best man, not him
Well sometimes the best man, Don't always win

He said I do
And I did too
But he's the one who spoke those words out loud to you
When he said yes
Till death do us part
I was dying right there deep inside my heart.

Chorus:
You're not the one I grow old with
You're not the one I'll always kiss
You're not the one I run home to
But you're the one that I will always miss.
And even though I'm the best man, not him
Well sometimes the best man Don't always win

So I hope that you'll be happy there with him
Sometimes the best man, Don't always win

Is this one time baby
The best man don't win
This is goodbye baby
The best man don't win.
