(Girl's voice talking in background)

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 prefers the company of other's

To your exclusive company.

But if you're honest, and direct,

And avoid making

a flowery emotional speech

When you break the news,

The boy will respect you

for your frankness.

And honestly

he'll appreciate

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

I'm popular

I'm a quarterback

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 Johnny

football hero in the hall,

Tell him he played a great game.

Tell him you liked 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 teacher's pet.

I propose

we support a one month limit

On going steady.

I think It will keep you both

More able to deal

with weird situations,

And get to know more people.

I think if you're ready

to go out with Johnny,

Now's the time to tell him about

Your one month limit.

He wont mind,

he'll appreciate

our Fresh look on dating.

And once you've dated someone else,

You can date him again.

I'm sure he'll like it.

Everyone will appreciate it.

You so novel, what a good idea.

You can keep your time to yourself.

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.

If you'll just listen to my plan;
