You’re starting out at a brand new school
You want to look perfect, you think you’re so cool,
But no one in high school really cares
If you were a big shot in previous years,
With all your make up and high dollar shirts
You don’t know how much the real world hurts.

I’m just trying to help, don’t get me wrong
But I feel like I’ve seen this all for a little too long
You girls walk around like the world is one big show
I’m trying to give you the advice I already know
I don’t want you to get hurt like many others do
So please heed my warning even though it’s long overdue.

The guys might line up to try and sweep you off your feet
But you don’t need to find love in the first one you meet,
Don’t get your hopes up about dating a senior boy
Because to him your heart is nothing but a toy,
There is no need to rush, always slow it down
Take a step back and remember to look around.

The way you act will not help you make yourself a name
People will just use you like pawns in their game,
You are going to get your hearts broken a time or two
I promise you are not the first ones this has ever happened to,
No one expects you to keep all your emotions inside
But there is a time to share them and a time to put them aside.

Listen to your heart but don’t forget about your head
Because sometimes your heart can be misled,
Think about what you’re doing before you partake
Because in just one night you can make your biggest mistake,
Whenever you need help don’t be afraid to ask for a guide
Those who love you will always be there to stand by your side.
