The way to make him laugh,
The way to make him cry,
To make him think he's Mister So-and-So.
These are little things, ordinary things
Every girl should know.
The way you hold his hand
Should make him understand
That anywhere he leads you you will go.
These are little things, ordinary things
Every girl should know.
And when he's blue, you'll be blue.
When he's okay, you'll be okay.
And if it's right or wrong
You'll always get along that way.
When he says, "I Love You,"
Say, "No, it can't be true!"
Don't tell him that you knew it long ago.
These are little things, such important things
Every girl should know.
