Balance Beam Lyrics

I haven't been quite the same

So sure the story of my life would never change

Then in a bright eyed way

I rinsed out the soap in my eyes

*(She rinsed out the soap in my eyes)*

And wrote the song that I'm about to sing

*(and wrote a song that I'm about to sing)*

'Cause it's about a girl that I hardly even know

*(She's a magnetic girl, oh, that, 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

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 that she's pretty

*(Three:You've got to tell her how you're feelin', and)*

Four: You've got to be the perfect gentleman

You shake a wall

You've got to make it bend, yeah

You've got to show her that she's the balance beam

*(You've got to show her that she's a balance beam)*

And I keep falling all around her fairy tale.

*(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 near by to cast that shade

Stay cool but I'm giddy like a school boy

You've got to handle with care, this is not a toy

Then gradually we touch

Although our clothes were wet we sat and smiled

*(And though our clothes were wet we sat and smiled)*

I never thought I'd smile so much, ah

The first kiss always says the most

*(The first kiss always says the most, like)*

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 that she's pretty, and

*(Three:You've got to tell her how you're feelin', and)*

Four: You've got to be the perfect gentleman

You shake a wall

You've got to make it bend, yeah

You've got to show her that she's the balance beam

And I keep falling all around her fairy tale.

I said oh, fuh-fah a fairy tale, ah

*(Oh, uh-ah a fairy tale, a fairy tale, my, yeah)*

I wanna sing to you

And everyone should know that

*(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 that she's pretty, and

*(Three:You've got to tell her how you're feelin', and)*

Four: You've got to be the perfect gentleman

You shake a wall

You've got to make it bend, yeah

You've got to show her that she's the balance beam

And I keep falling all around her fairy tale.

My, my fairy tale

*(above deleted in alternate)*

Some kind of fairy tale, some kind of fairy tale

And, everyone should know that.

*(Everyone should know that)*
