Twelve Tricky Traits!
(Verse I)
In every storyline,
Since ’bout the dawn of time,
you come across this one situation.
“Boy meets Girl,”
He’s thrown for a whirl.
He falls for Love (or some cheap imitation).
But, yeah, the list is long
Of those who got it wrong
‘Cuz they lacked this bit of information.
It’s never taught in school,
But here’s a useful tool
‘Bout crucial character enumeration.
It can help you learn from others’ mistakes
And avoid some predictable heartaches.
(Pre-chorus)
Before you’re ready for the ring,
Better get this info.
There are 12 Tricky Traits,
The way you wanna be.
You better learn this little list
Of who you wanna look for.
Listen to the lesson.
Learn the recipe
(Chorus)
1) He’s HOPEFUL
2) and FAITHFUL
3) She’s LOVING
4) and CONTENT
5) He’s so HUMBLE
6) She’s so WHOLESOME
7) They’re COURAGEOUS
8) And it really helps to be really FIT.
hmmmmmm…
9) They’re HARD WORKING!
10) Full of WISDOM
11) Pretty much SOBER
12) And Willing to REPENT
I say That’s HOPEFUL
(etc…)
(List repeats a second time)
And know when they need to REPENT.
(Verse 2)
“Ah, yeah,” I hear you say,
“That list, it sounds okay,
But, it’s clearly too optimistic.
Because, let’s face it, why
Would such a girl or guy
Consider me? Let’s be realistic.”
But I think you got that wrong!
Don’t sing that sad ol’ song.
You just need long term perspective.
When you turn Mom and Dad,
That’s when you’ll be so glad
That you prayed and had been selective.
It’s not just you who might live with the choice you make.
I see their name on their very first birthday cake.
(Pre-chorus)
Before you’re ready for the ring,

Remember one thing.
