Lyrics

How You Get the Girl

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Stand there like a ghost, shaking from the rain, rain

She'll open up the door and say: Are you insane?

Say it's been a long six months

And you were too afraid to tell her what you want, want

And that's how it works

That's how you get the girl

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

And that's how it works

That's how you get the girl, girl, ooh

And that's how it works

That's how you get the girl, girl

Remind her how it used to be, be, yeah, yeah

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, why

And that's how it works

That's how you lost the girl

And now you say

I want you for worse or for better

I would wait forever and ever (ever and ever)

Broke your heart, I'll put it back together (put it back together)

I would wait forever and ever (ever and ever)

And that's how it works

That's how you get the girl, girl, ooh

And that's how it works

That's how you get the girl, girl

Yeah, yeah

And you know

Oh, oh-oh oh oh, oh oh-oh oh

That I don't want you

To go, oh oh

Remind me how it used to be

Pictures in frames of kisses on cheeks

And say you want me

Yeah, yeah, 'cause I

And then you say

I want you for worse or for better (worse or for better)

I would wait forever and ever (ever and ever)

Broke your heart, I'll put it back together

I would wait forever and ever (I want you forever and ever)

And that's how it works

That's how you get the girl, girl (so it's how it works)

And that's how it works

That's how you get the girl, girl (get the girl)

(It's how it works) 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

And that's how it works

That's how you got the girl
