lyrics

We tell you to be nice
And kind to your friends
Make good decisions
You never know when
Someone’s taking a picture
When you’re not yourself

Even though you’ll live your life on your own
It won’t hurt to have some pointers

Like how to take a compliment
And how to write a thank you note eloquently
And how to fail gracefully
How to yield the right of way
How to find the words to say
I’m sorry, When you mean it
How to know you’ve been defeated
But you’re not alone

We tell you not to talk to strangers
Warn you of all the dangers
Of walking alone
After midnight
We tell you to say please and thank you
Don’t rely on the things you can’t do
It’s never wrong to ask for help
There’s plenty you can do by yourself

Like know how to take a compliment
And how to trust your common sense
And how to win gracefully
How to yield the right of way
How to find the words to say
I miss you, When you mean it
How to know you’ve been defeated
But you’re not alone

Even though you’ll live your life on your own
It won’t hurt to have some pointers

Like know how to take a compliment
And how to be the comeback kid
And how to age gracefully
How to yield the right of way
How to find the words to say
I love you, When you mean it
How to know you’ve been defeated
But you’re not alone
