21 Rules

lyrics

1. Don't talk to the prettiest girl all night
2. Never drink so much to lose a fight
3. Once you leave a bar, don't go back
4. Never chase a girl, just call her back
Just call her back

5. Let the bigger idiot swing first
6. Speak well without the need to curse
7. And if you feel like talking shit
Then be ready to deal with it
Oh, be ready to deal with it

These are 21 rules
For the biggest fools
I’m no Casanova
But take it from me, he’d agree
Oh yeah, he’d agree

8. When you’re waiting for a lady
Always do your best to act busy
9. Don’t let her think for even a second
That she can waste your time
Or she’ll turn on a dime
Oh, she’ll turn on a dime!

10. Wear black
11. Wait a week to call her
12. Never wait to hear back
13. Always act like your memory is a bit fuzzy
“Yeah... you said something like... uh..."

14. Never quote her word for word
No matter how easy
Ya hear me? No matter how easy!

These are 21 rules
For the biggest fools
I’m no Casanova
But take it from me, he’d agree
Oh yeah, he’d agree

15. Never get nervous
16. Always keep control
17. Don’t say, “I’ll walk you home”
Say, “I could go for a stroll”

18. Don’t talk too much, shut your trap
You just rant, you can’t rap

19. Ask about what she loves and listen
20. Take nothing for granted
You only get what you’re given

21. “Be too cool for school” is the only real rule
If you could be that you wouldn’t need to hear this
I’m not saying stop studying
I only learned these things from watching you
From watching you
I was watching you
I was watching you
I was watching you
