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 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 walls,
You've got to make them 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:]
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
Every man 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
