[Verse 1:] I haven't been quite the same So sure the story of my life would never change And in a bright eyed way I rinsed out the soap in my eyes And wrote a song that I'm about to sing 'Cause it's about a girl that I hardly even know So this is not another love song Just a list of things that I should know And everyone should know that [Chorus] One: You've got to take it kind of slowly Two: You've got to hurry up and make your move Three: You've got to tell her that she's pretty Four: You've got to be the perfect gentleman When you shake the wall, you've got to make it bend Yeah, you've got to show her that she's a balance beam And I keep falling all around her fairy tale [Verse 2:] We took a walk in the rain I suggested, she confessed that There's a heart nearby to cast some shade Stay cool, but I'm giddy like a schoolboy You've got to handle with care, this is not a toy Gradually, we touched Although our clothes were wet, we sat and smiled I never thought I'd smile so much The first kiss always says the most [Chorus] One: You've got to take it kind of slowly Two: You've got to hurry up and make your move Three: You've got to tell her that she's pretty Four: You've got to be the perfect gentleman When you shake the wall, you've got to make it bend Yeah, you've got to show her that she's a balance beam And I keep falling all around her fairy tale Oh, this fairy tale, I wanna sing to you And everyone should know that [Chorus] One: You've got to take it kind of slowly Two: You've got to hurry up and make your move Three: You've got to tell her that she's pretty Four: You've got to be the perfect gentleman When you shake the wall, you've got to make it bend Yeah, you've got to show her that she's a balance beam And I keep falling all around her fairy tale Fairy tale, some kind of fairy tale Some kind of fairy tale And everyone should know that
