[Verse:]
Stand there like a ghost
Shaking from the rain (rain)
She'll open up the door and say, "Are you insane?" ('sane)
Say "it's been a long six months"
And you were too afraid to tell her what you want
And that's how it works
That's how you get the girl

[Pre-Chorus:]
And then you say, I want you for worse or for better
I would wait forever and ever
Broke your heart, I'll put it back together
I would wait forever and ever

[Chorus:]
And that's how it works
And how you get the girl, girl
And that's how it works
It's how you get the girl, girl

[Verse 2:]
Remind her how it used to be (be)
With pictures in frames of kisses on cheeks, cheeks
Tell her how you must have lost your mind
When you left her all alone and never told her why
And that's how it works
That's how you lost the girl

[Pre-Chorus:]
And now you say, I want you for worse or for better
I would wait forever and ever
Broke your heart, I'll put it back together
I would wait forever and ever

[Chorus:]
And that's how it works
And how you get the girl, girl
And that's how it works
And how you get the girl, girl
Yeah, Yeah

[Bridge:]
And you know that I don't want you to go
Remind me how it used to be
Pictures in frames of kisses on cheeks
And say you want me


[Pre-Chorus:]
And then you say, I want you for worse or for better
I would wait forever and ever
Broke your heart, I'll put it back together
I want you forever and ever

[Chorus:]
And that's how it works
That's how you get the girl, girl
And that's how it works
That's how you get the girl, girl (2x)

[Outro]
That's how it works
That's how you got the girl
