At the altar I waited as you walked down the aisle
At the altar I waited just forcing a smile
And I stared at the pastor with my heart full of gloom
'Cause I'm just the best man, I'm not the groom
I'm not the groom though I'd like to be
But my best friend stole you from me
And though I pretend that I don't care
My heart is heavy and full of despair
At the church I repeated every word that was said
I pretended it was me to whom you'd be wed
I pronounce you man and wife brought a feeling of doom
'Cause I'm just the best man, I'm not the groom
No I'm not the groom though I'd like to be
I'm just the best man,that's all I'll be
I can't blame my friend he thinks I don't care
But my heart is heavy and full of despair
Though I'm the best man I feel the worst here
