We cut the cake everybody danced and some people drank too much
You looked like the cover of a bride's 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
And said Son I've been married now 45 years and he pointed at you through the crowd
And said
Love her like she's leaving
Like it's all gonna end if you don't
Love her like she's leaving
Oh and I guarantee she won't
He 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 away
And 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 smart
You'll love her like she's leaving
Like all it's gonna end if you don't
Love her like she's leaving
Oh and I guarantee she won't
Yeah she could have any man she wants you know it's true
Best way to keep her is to keep her wanting you
Love her like she's leaving
Oh and I guarantee she won't
Yeah I guarantee she won't
