See 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 And how you get the girl, girl [Verse 2:] Remind her how it used to be (be) With pictures in frames of kisses on 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 And now you say...

[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 And how you get the girl, girl
