Don’t Tell Her

Don’t tell her she’s pretty,
It’ll go to her head.

Don’t tell her to sing,
She’ll sing all she has said.

Don’t tell her to dance,
She’ll make people look.

Don’t tell her to dream,
She’ll read all the books.

Don’t tell her to love,
She might learn to care.

Don’t tell her she’s clever,
She might even dare.

Don’t tell her to smile,
She’ll get what she needs.

Don’t tell her to try,
She might just succeed.
