  • I haven't been quite the same
    So sure the story of my life would never change
    In a bright eyed way
    Rinsed out the soap in my eyes and wrote a song that I'm about to sing

    It's about a girl that I hardly even know
    It's not another love song
    Just a list of things that I should know
    Ever man should know thatâ?¦

    [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 walls, you've got to make â??em bend
    Yeah you've got to show her that she's pretty
    She's so pretty
    You've the balance beam
    And I keep falling all around this fairy tale.

    We took a walk in the rain
    My suggestion, she requested
    The park nearby to cast the 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
    Though our clothes were wet
    We sat and smiled
    I never thought I'd smile so much
    The first kiss always says the most

    [Chorus]
    Every man should know that

    [Chorus]

    OO this fairy tale OO this fairy tale
    Some kind of fairy tale. Some kind of fairy tale.

    Every man should know that. Writer/s: JUSTIN S FURSTENFELD
