Lyrics
0:24Three important rules for breaking up
0:26Don't put off breaking up when you know you want to
0:28Prolonging the situation only makes it worse
0:31Tell him honestly simply kindly but firmly
0:33Don't make a big production
0:35Don't make up an elaborate story
0:36This will help you avoid a big tear jerking scene
0:39If you want to date other people say so
0:41Be prepared for the boy to feel hurt and rejected
0:43Even if you've gone together for only a short time
0:46And haven't been too serious
0:47There's still a feeling of rejection
0:48When someone says she prefers the company of others
0:50To your exclusive company
0:52But if you're honest and direct
0:53And avoid making a flowery emotional speech
0:55When you break the news
0:56The boy will respect you for your frankness
0:58And honestly he'll appreciate the kind and
1:00Straightforward manner in which you told him your decision
1:02Unless he's a real jerk or a cry baby you'll remain friends
1:04I'm head of the class
1:07I'm popular
1:09I'm a quarterback
1:11I'm popular
1:14My mom says I'm a catch
1:16I'm popular
1:19I'm never last picked
1:21I got a cheer leading chick
1:26Being attractive is the most important thing there is
1:29If you wanna catch the biggest fish in your pond
1:31You have to be as attractive as possible
1:33Make sure to keep your hair spotless and clean
1:36Wash it at least every two weeks
1:38Once every two weeks
1:39And if you see Johnny football hero in the hall
1:41Tell him he played a great game
1:43Tell him you liked his article in the newspaper
1:44I'm the party star
1:47I'm popular
1:49I've got my own car
1:52I'm popular
1:54I'll never get caught
1:57I'm popular
1:59I make football bets
2:02I'm the teacher's pet
2:07I propose we support a one month limit on going steady
2:11I think it would keep people more able to deal with weird situations
2:15And get to know more people
2:16I think if you're ready to go out with Johnny
2:18Now's the time to tell him about your one month limit
2:21He won't mind he'll appreciate your fresh look on dating
2:24And once you've dated someone else you can date him again
2:26I'm sure he'll like it
2:28Everyone will appreciate it
2:29You're so novel what a good idea
2:31You can keep your time to yourself
2:33You don't need date insurance
2:34You can go out with whoever you want to
2:36Every boy every boy in the whole world could be yours
2:40If you'll just listen to my plan
2:42The teenage guide to popularity
2:44I'm head of the class
2:47I'm popular
2:49I'm a quarterback
2:52I'm popular
2:54My mom says I'm a catch
2:57I'm popular
2:59I'm never last picked
3:02I'm cheer leading chick
3:04I'm the party star
3:07I'm popular
3:09I've got my own car
3:12I'm popular
3:14I'll never get caught
3:17I'm popular
3:19I'm the teacher's pet
3:22I make football bets
