    Three important rules for breaking up
    Don't put off breaking up when you know you want to
    Prolonging the situation only makes it worse
    Tell him honestly, simply, kindly, but firmly
    Don't make a big production
    Don't make up an elaborate story
    This will help you avoid a big tear jerking scene
    If you wanna date other people say so
    Be prepared for the boy to feel hurt and rejected
    Even if you've gone together for only a short time,
    And haven't been too serious,
    There's still a feeling of rejection
    When someone says she preferres the company of others
    To your exclusive company,
    But if you're honest, and direct,
    And avoid making a flowery emotional speech when you brake the news,
    The boy will respect you for your frankness,
    And honestly he'll apeciate the kind of straight foward manner
    In which you told him your decision
    Unless he's a real jerk or a cry baby you will remain friends

    I'm head of the class
    'm popular
    I'm a quarter back
    I'm popular
    My mom says I'm a catch
    I'm popular
    I'm never last picked
    I got a cheerleader chick

    Being attractive is the most important thing there is
    If you wanna catch the biggest fish in your pond
    You have to be as attractive as possible
    Make sure to keep your hair spotless and clean
    Wash it at least every two weeks
    Once every two weeks
    And if you see Jonny football hero in the hall
    Tell him he played a great game
    Tell him you like his article in the newspaper

    I'm the party star
    I'm popular
    I've got my own car
    I'm popular
    I'll never get caught
    I'm popular
    I make football bets
    I'm a teachers pet.

    I purpose we support a one month limit on going steady
    I think It will keep you both more able to deal with weird situation
    And get to know more people
    I think if you're ready to go out with Jonny
    Now's the time to tell him about your one month limit
    He wont mind he'll apreciate your fresh look on dating
    And once you've dated someone else you can date him again
    I'm sure hell l did
    Everyone will appreciate it
    You so novel what a good idea
    You can keep you time to your self
    You don't need date insurance
    You can go out with whoever you want to
    Every boy, every boy, in the whole world could be yours
    Iif you'll just listen to my plan
