LOVE CHECKUP

Intro

Doctor said fifteen minutes...

Baby, look what I found...

One of these old relationship magazines.

(Laughs)

They got "Thirty Ways to Love Your Woman..."

Girl...

We've been married forty years...

Let's see if I pass.

Verse 1

Page one says...

"Tell her she's beautiful..."

Baby...

I still stop what I'm doing

Every time you walk in the room.

Says...

"Hold her hand in public..."

Girl...

That's why I keep reaching for yours

Like I forgot how to walk alone.

Oh...

Listen to this one...

"Bring flowers just because."

Didn't know I needed a magazine

To tell me what my heart already knew.

Pre-Chorus

Now I'm laughing...

'Cause every page I turn...

Is another Tuesday with you.

HOOK

Cause I........... loooooove........... youuuuuuu........ girrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll....

For a mooooooment...

This magazine think it's teaching me...

But baby...

You've been teaching me for forty years...

These my emotions...

That's how I feeeeeeeeeeeel...

Won't change my words...

Cause I'mmaaaaaaaaa own it...

Verse 2

(Laughing)

Listen to number twelve...

"Help around the house..."

Baby...

Who you think folded them towels

When you fell asleep on the couch?

Here's another...

"Listen without fixing everything..."

Now...

I'm still working on that one.

(Laughs)

"Leave little notes..."

Girl...

Every lunch box...

Every mirror...

Every birthday card...

That was me.

"Remember the little things..."

I still know your coffee order.

I still know what song makes you cry.

I still know which side of the bed gets cold first.

Bridge

Now hold on...

Page twenty-seven says...

"Make her laugh."

Baby...

You married a fool.

I've been making funny faces

Since nineteen eighty-six.

It says...

"Grow old together."

(Looks over magazine)

Well...

Looks like we're making perfect attendance.

Final Chorus

Cause I........... loooooove........... youuuuuuu........ girrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrlllllllllllllllllllllll....

Magazine says...

Kiss her forehead...

Already did.

Call her beautiful...

Already do.

Dance in the kitchen...

Every Sunday.

Pray with her...

Every night.

Respect her dreams...

Never stopped.

Stand beside her...

Never left.

Grow together...

Still growing.

Hold her...

Still holding.

Choose her...

Still choosing.

Love her...

Still loving.

Cause I........... loooooove........... youuuuuuu........ girrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrlllllllllllllllllllllll....

Forty years later...

Guess I passed the test.
