(Verse)
Woke up this morning, knock on the door
Put a smile on my face, but for my daddy I wasn't sure
Opened the door and there was my love
To ask him 'oh, who has time'(?)
But I had a feeling it would go wrong

(Pre-Chorus)
Daddy, oh, daddy, can I marry my love?
Say yes, say yes, cause I need to know
Him say 'you neva get my blessing cause'
'He young and wild', give him a chance
Daddy please don't say no

(Chorus)
Why you gotta be so rude?
I wanna be happy too
Why you gotta be so rude?
I'm gonna marry him anyway
Yeah no matter what you say
Marry that girl
And we'll be a family
Why you gotta be so rude
(I can't take it no more)
(Of my life not sure)

(Verse 2)
No more lie, no sneaking, sorry, daddy bought me off to keep him
Him put a ring pon my finger, a mi already give me answer
And I really wanna run away, and if you not accept
Well then we not go ?, no no
No no, them say love is blind and I miss did this on my time

(Pre-Chorus)
Daddy, oh, daddy, can I marry my love?
Say yes, say yes, cause I need to know
Him say 'you neva get my blessing cause'
'He young and wild', give him a chance
Daddy please don't say no

(Chorus)
Why you gotta be so rude?
I wanna be happy too
Why you gotta be so rude?
I'm gonna marry him anyway
Yeah no matter what you say
Marry that girl
And we'll be a family
Why you gotta be so rude
(I can't take it no more)
(Of my life not sure)

(Instrumental break)

(Pre-Chorus)
Daddy, oh, daddy, can I marry my love?
Say yes, say yes, cause I need to know
Him say 'you neva get my blessing cause'
'He young and wild', give him a chance
Daddy please don't say no

(Chorus)
Why you gotta be so rude?
I wanna be happy too
Why you gotta be so rude?
I'm gonna marry him anyway
Yeah no matter what you say
Marry that girl
And we'll be a family
Why you gotta be so rude
