Lyrics

I haven't been quite the same
So sure the story of my life would never change
But in a bright-eyed way, I rinsed out the soap in my eyes
And wrote a song that I'm about to sing

'Cus 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..

1. you gotta take it kinda slowly
2. you gotta hurry up and make your move
3. you gotta tell her how you're feeling
And 4. you gotta be the perfect gentleman

When you shake the wall, you gotta make it bend
You gotta show her that
She's the balance beam
And I keep falling all around her fairy tale
Fairy tale

We took a walk in the rain
I suggested, she confessed:
"There's a heart nearby to cast that shame."

Stay cool
But I'm giddy like a school boy
You gotta handle with care:
This is not a toy

Then gradually we touched
And though our clothes were wet, we sat and smiled
I never thought I'd smile so much
The first kiss always says the most

1. you gotta take it kinda slowly
2. you gotta hurry up and make your move
3. you gotta tell her how you're feeling
And 4. you gotta be the perfect gentleman

When you shake the wall, you gotta make it bend
You gotta show her that
She's the balance beam
And I keep falling all around her fairy tale
Fairy tale
Fairy tale

Some kind of fairy tail
Some kinda fairy tail
Everyone should know that
