"Deserve Her" lyrics

You can tell her that she's pretty
But anybody can say that
You can buy her Valentines flowers
But what about every day after that?
You can take her high heel dancin'
But what about socks on the kitchen floor?
You can tell her that you love her
Oh, but there's gotta be more

You gotta hold her when she's broken
And be the rock when she slides
She's gotta know she's more than a moment
She's gotta know you're on her side
And if you talk about forever
There better be truth behind the words
Oh, boy, you can't just want her
If you really want this to work
You gotta deserve her

You can take her daddy fishin'
But what about askin' him for advice?
You can go to church with her
But what about prayin' over her at night?
You can get her heart beatin' just a little bit
Or you can get it goin' wild
You can walk through this life with her
Or you can go the extra mile

You gotta hold her when she's broken
And be the rock when she slides
She's gotta know she's more than a moment
She's gotta know you're on her side
And if you talk about forever
There better be truth behind the words
Oh, boy, you can't just want her
If you really want this to work
You gotta deserve her
You gotta deserve her, deserve her

Yeah, get it together, boy, you can do better, boy
If you just put her first
Be a real man, show her firsthand
That actions speak louder than words

You gotta hold her when she's broken
And be the rock when she slides
She's gotta know she's more than a moment
She's gotta know you're on her side
And if you talk about forever
There better be truth behind the words
Oh, boy, you can't just want her
If you really want this to work
You gotta deserve her
You gotta deserve her
You gotta deserve her
