Girl, you’ve got to play it smart
Or he’s going to break your heart.
Don’t let him get too close to you
Until he can prove that his love is true.
You’ve got to let him know
That you’re going to let him go.
If he stays out at night
And doesn’t treat you right,
And there’s something else that he should know.
There’s some ground rules for a relationship
As far as you’re concerned.
You can’t be making a game of this
Or else you’re going to get burned.
Tell it to him straight,
You can’t afford to wait.
It’s a lesson you’ve already learned.
There’s some ground rules for a relationship
As far as you’re concerned.
You’ve got to look him in the eyes
And say there won’t be any lies.
If he tells you even one
Then it’s over before it’s begun.
If you’re going to take a chance
And try to gamble on romance,
Tell him right up front
You can’t be too blunt.
It’s something he should really know.
So before you hold him close,
Just be sure that he knows
That you will be on your guard,
And you will be watching him hard.
Tell him if he’s got his doubts
And decides that he wants out,
He better tell you now
Before you take that vow,
Otherwise you’re better off without.
