You could send me flowers
Text me poetry for hours
Even write a sappy song
I'm not saying it be long
You could call me when I'm sick
To chat about a chick flick
And tell me something tough
But I won't believe it's love
Until you prove it to my dad
Cause he's already loved me
For better and for worse
He makes it easy
To identify a jerk
He knows I want to make believe
He's always helped me see
But I really mean
You could say I'm like no other
Become best buddies with my brother
Notice when I cut my hair
Let me win when it's not fair
Then pretend that you don't care
Promise me you'll always be there
But your word is not enough
And I won't believe it's love
Until you prove it to my dad
Cause he's already loved me
For better and for worse
He makes it easy
To identify a jerk
He knows I want to make believe
He's always helped me see
But I really mean
I haven't been perfect
But I've done my best
Through your good times, your bad times, your PMS
With boys sometimes you lose your common sense
So I'm always gonna throw in my two cents
They'll tell you all these things 
That you want to hear
But they'll pretend that they love you
But they really don't care
But I've taught you how to walk
And I cried with you
I tough you how to drive
I had to ride with you
When you're hear looked bad
I even lied to you
You were mine until the day I walked the aisle with you
And if some guy wants to try for you
And he thinks he can provide for you
I'll let go, I just got to know
He too would die for you
He's already loved me
For better and for worse
He makes it easy
To identify a jerk
He knows I want to make believe
He's always helped me see
But I really mean
He's already loved me
For better and for worse
He makes it easy
To identify a jerk
He knows I want to make believe
He's always helped me see
What I really need
So don't call me when I'm sick
