You just can't tuck your shirt in well enough With your pants buckled So make sure you do it right Before you leave your house Because that's an awkward dinner thing And I'm going to level with you A tucked in shirt all bunched up around the waist Is worse than ***** lines under spandex shorts So make sure you've got a mirror on your door I can't have you looking Like no one ever warned you Like you haven't had a father to teach you Because you have a father And I know the replacement She's got in her bed every night Is a nice guy But he didn't ask to be a father He's not ready And it's not that I wanted to be a father But he didn't even get to have The *** that made you And believe you me It was a good night And since your not even two yet I should probably start With some advice that's a little more Relevant But I'm serious about the shirt thing I mean if you can't do it right Leave it untucked Anyways First advice Smile Nobody likes a negative Nancy Besides you'll need the practice Because if I'm going to pay for braces I expect a return on investment Paid in smile hours so be funny Smile because if eyes are windows to the soul Smiles are open doors So smile wide A lot of people are going to want in Let them in Advice two Take a long time to have *** first Then **** your brains out It's only making love The first two times Your anniversary Make-up *** The first hour of your honeymoon The last hour of your marriage And the last time So don't stress out about Any other circumstance Unless she's a friend you've had Since you were in 3rd grade You've always loved her Your 21 Freshly single And finally alone In which case I hope they have better pills Because without them You'll never live up to the expectations You've inflated in every dream you've ever had Asleep or otherwise But don't worry It'll still be the best night Of both of your lives Other than that Don't stress the in between *** But do pay attention To the first thing you say after High five does not equal win I love you does But only say it if you mean it Otherwise tell her she was amazing Advice three Heaven might end up being An awesome place But don't miss out On opportunities here on Earth To make sure you get there Because no matter how awesome Cobble stone streets are to your disembodied self It will never equal the Real life feeling of a quivering bottom lip Of a real love kiss I promise I promise I promise Advice four If your girlfriend Ever offers you a sweet treat Take it Don't worry about the calories Even if you're an athlete The run in the morning To burn it off your hips Is worth the smile on her lips The joy in her eyes And the children playing Hopscotch in her heart She needs to feel loved Needs to feel needed Show her she's appreciated Take her hand in a dark movie theater Stare at her in a crowded room Whether she's the love of your life Or the flavor of the week Tell her she means something to you And kiss her cheek Every time you leave But most important Before you walk out the door Unbutton your pants And tuck in your shirt The world is watching Don't act like you don't have a father You have a father
