If She Says Yes

Hey dad
There's this girl
Every Thursday after lunch break
I sit next to her

When I get home
She's all thinking about
I've never had a girlfriend
But I think I want one now

I'm scared to ask
Cause I don't know what she'd say
I like what we have
And I'd hate for that to change

If she says no
Then what's next?
She'll come in to school
And she'll tell all her friends
And they'll tell mine
And you know what they're like
If she says no
Then I bet
She'll start sitting next to
Someone new in French
What happens then?
Will she ever talk to me again?

Oh son
You'll have to take the chance
Cause what if she says yes

Hey son
I've been in your place
When your heart's ready to jump in
But your head's too afraid

I've had times
That it didn't work out
But if I'd have stopped trying
You wouldn't be here now

The truth is that
I don't know what she'll say
But being a little scared what makes you brave

If she says no
Then I guess
She'll come in to school and
She'll tell all her friends
That'd be rough
Knowing what they're saying on the bus

If she says no
Then I guess
She could be sitting next to
Someone in French
What happens then?
I'm sure she'll never talked to you again

Oh son
You have to take the chance
Cause what if she says yes
What if she says yes

What if one day
You're walking down the hall with her friend in your hand
Your friends all wishing for the courage you had
Sitting on a park bench leaning in
With butterflies flying 'round your first kiss

Knowing what it's like to be in love
Finding out it's bigger than you thought it was
All the phone calls and the midnight texts
And now all the songs and the films all makes sense

Oh son
You'll have to take the chance
Oh son
You'll have to take the chance
I promise it's the best
If she says yes
