The Fray (Spring Arbor University)

Spring Arbor: How to Get a Wife
Music by The Fray
Words by JD Van Valin

Step one you take her for a walk
Around the P loop, you just want to talk
Reaching out your hand for love
As you watch the stars gleam from above

Fast forward to another day
You go chipping at the Frito Lay
Factory, it's just for kicks
You run screaming with 80 bags of chips

Chorus:
Four years is so long to learn someone
You make up pet names: sugar, baby, hun
And Ron Kopicko defends the fact tonight
Spring Arbor, how to get a wife

Freshmen girls have open eyes
And freshmen boys, yeah they will always try
To get the girls to notice them
As a junior it's hilarious

At the oak tree in front of Lowell hall
Boys will play guitars and throw football
To get a girl to see
Yeah I pray God that this one marries me


You picnic out at Cascades Park
Making out at Lime Lake in the dark
Taking late night trips to town
Love is blooming all around

If this ain't true love then you don't know what is
Ending open hours with a kiss
It's the beginning of the flame
Then you realize the reason why you came
