These three songs: Speak Now, Mine and Love Story all have a chorus that is modified at the end of the song to suit the guy's perspective.
In Speak Now, she says:
Don't say yes, run away nowAnd at the end of the song, he says:
I'll meet you when you're out
Of the church at the back door
Don't wait or say a single vow
You need to hear me out
When they said "speak now"
[And you Say]In Mine:
Let's run away now
I'll meet you when
I'm out of my tux at the back door
Baby, I didn't say my vows
So glad you were around when they said
"Speak now"
Do you remember we were sitting there by the water?And in Love Story:
You put your arm around me for the first time
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine
[You said] I remember how we felt sitting by the water
And every time I look at you, it's like the first time
I fell in love with a careless man's careful daughter
She is the best thing that's ever been mine
Romeo take me somewhere we can be aloneThis kind of lyrics was rather refreshing the first time (I remember noticing it in Love Story), but it's starting to get boring. These three songs are the ones I noticed it in, since I'm hearing Mine and Speak Now quite often on the radio nowadays. I wonder...are there any others?
I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story baby just say yes
[And said,] marry me Juliet
You'll never have to be alone
I love you and that's all I really know
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress
It's a love story baby just say yes
(Speak Now was played on the radio again as I started writing this post...what a coincidence.)
