My favorite cousin’s gettin’ married
Told me I should bring a date
It’s gonna be one of those weddings
Where the bar and- - dance floor’s open late
Well, I’ve been seein’ a solid 10
She dolls up real, real nice
But lately she’s been showing me
That she’s pretty mean inside

Feels like this might be the excuse I need to finally say goodbye

I ain’t a wizard with the numbers
But just to sum it up..
I’ll have way more fun
Showing up alone
Than with a Negative Plus One
I’ll have way more fun
Showing up alone
Than with a Negative Plus One

Don’t wanna miss out on the bridesmaid
Whose sunshine smilin sweet
She might catch the bride’s bouquet
And make those eyes at me
I’ll ask her for a two step
See where the night might go
Take my chances solo;
Anchor’s off my boat


I ain’t a wizard with the numbers
But just to sum it up..
I’ll have way more fun
Showing up alone
Than with a Negative Plus One
I’ll have way more fun
Showing up alone
Than with a Negative Plus One

Well I’m positive that I’ll be falling in love with somebody soon
But honestly girl, I’m sure
It ain’t gonna be with you, cause..

I ain’t a wizard with the numbers
But just to sum it up..
I’ll have way more fun
Showing up alone
Than with a Negative Plus One
I’ll have way more fun
Showing up alone
Than with a Negative Plus
