Fairy tale

"Balance Beam"

"I haven't been quite the same
So sure the story of my life would never change
In a bright eyed way
She rinsed out the soap in my eyes and wrote a song that I'm about to sing
She's a magnetic girl
That I hardly even know
So this is not another love song
Just a list of things that I should know
Everyone should know that...

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 how you're feeling
Four: You've got to be the perfect gentleman
When you shake the wall, you've got to make it bend
Yeah you're got to show her that she's pretty
She's so pretty
You're the balance beam
And I keep falling all around this fairy tale.

We took a walk in the rain
I suggested, she confessed that
There's a park nearby to cast the shade
Stay cool but I'm giddy like a school boy
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

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 how you're feeling
Four: You've got to be the perfect gentleman
When you shake the wall, you've got to make it bend
Yeah you're got to show her that she's pretty
She's so pretty
You're the balance beam
And I keep falling all around this fairy tale.

Everyone should know that

This fairy tale, this fairy tale
Some kind of fairy tale. Some kind of fairy tale.

Everyone should know that."
