I don't wanna waste an entire album on you
I've been there done that, yeah
And I don't wanna tell who, what, when, where
Why and how, 'cause who cares? No-nobody cares

But I hope you soon find out how to love
Once upon a time you wanted to learn
I thought I could teach you
But you were more afraid, than willing

So when it comes, don't push it away
One day you will find it is the greatest gift
And I hope you don't take advantage of it again

Hold her when she wants to be held
Don't yell at her when she's only trying to love you
Take her to her favorite place more often than not
Don't take her kindness for weakness,
'cause I'm sure she'll love you a lot

Support her in all that she does
Don't tear her down, lift her up
'Cause that is the worst thing you can do
To someone you love

Put her high on a pedestal
And tell her when she looks beautiful
Tell her when she looks beautiful

I used to think that I could not bear you to be with anyone but me
But I've been there, done that
And since then I've come to think silly of that whole mentality
I still want to find love too, though it won't be with you

I wish for everyone to one day find happiness and love
Including you, yeah
And I don't want to go into details, 'cause I've said enough
And it's not my intent to hurt you, no

But I hope you soon find out how to love
Once upon a time you wanted to learn
I thought I could teach you
But you were more afraid, than willing

So when it comes, don't push it away
One day you will find it is the greatest gift
And I hope you don't take advantage of it again

Hold her when she wants to be held
Don't yell at her when she's only trying to love you
Take her to her favorite place more often than not
Don't take her kindness for weakness,
'cause I'm sure she'll love you a lot

Support her in all that she does
Don't tear her down, lift her up
'Cause that is the worst thing you can do
To someone you love

Put her high on a pedestal
And tell her when she looks beautiful
Tell her when she looks beautiful
