The way to make him laugh
The way to make him cry
To make him think he's Mister So-and-So
These are little things, ordinary things
Every girl should know

The way you hold his hand
Should make him understand
That anywhere he leads you you will go
These are little things, ordinary things
Every girl should know

And when he's blue, you'll be blue
When he's okay, you'll be okay
And if it's right or wrong
You'll always get along that way

When he says, "I love you"
Say, "No, it can't be true!"
Don't tell him that you knew it long ago
These are little things, such important things
Every girl should know
