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, oh
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've lost your mind, ooh
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
I would wait forever and ever
And that's how it works
That's how you get the girl, girl, oh
And that's how it works
That's how you get the girl, girl, yeah, yeah
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
Yeah, yeah (and then you say), 'cause
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 (want) wait (you) forever and ever
And that's how it works
That's how you get the girl, girl (that's how it works)
And that's how it works
That's how you get the girl, girl (get the girl, that's how it works)
And that's how it works (oh)
That's how you get the girl (oh), 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
