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 cheeck, 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
