We cut the cake everybody danced
And some people drank too much
You looked like the cover of Brides magazine
And I looked like some guy in a tux
I'll never forget when your Uncle Bill
Pulled up a chair and sat down
He said son I've been married now
Forty five years and pointed at you through the crowd
And saidLove her like she's leaving
Like it's all going to end if you don't
Love her like she's leaving
Oh and I guarantee she won'tHe said it's sending her flowers for no reason
At all and notes on the fridge every day
An unexpected gift at an unexpected time
That keeps the lawyers awayAnd it's easy to take forever for granted
With tin cans tied to your car
And I know she tells you that she'll always be there
But I'm telling you if you're smartYou'll love her like she's leaving
Like it's all going to end if you don't
Love her like she's leaving
Oh and I guarantee she won'tShe could have any man she wants, you know it's true
Best way to keep her is to keep her wanting youLove her like she's leaving
Oh and I guarantee she won't
Yeah I guarantee she won't
Love her like she's leaving
Oh and I guarantee she won't
