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
And said, son, I've been married now forty five years
And he pointed at you through the crowd and said

Love her like she's leavin'
Like it's all gonna end if you don't
Love her like she's leavin'
Oh, and I guarantee she won't

He said, it's sendin' her flowers for no reason at all
And notes on the fridge everyday
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 tellin' you, if you're smart, you'll

Love her like she's leavin'
Like it's all gonna end if you don't
Love her like she's leavin'
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 wantin' you

Love her like she's leavin'
Oh, and I guarantee she won't
Yea I guarantee she won't
Love her like she's leavin'
