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
And that's how it works
It'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 you forever and ever"

And that's how it works
It's how you get the girl, girl, oh
And that's how it works
It'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
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
Broke your heart, I'll put it back together
I would wait you forever and ever"

And that's how it works
It's how you get the girl, girl, oh
And that's how it works
It's how you get the girl, girl
Yeah, yeah

And you could 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

'Cause 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 you forever and ever

And that's how it works
It's how you get the girl, girl, oh
And that's how it works
It's how you get the girl, girl
And that's how it works
It's how you get the girl, girl, oh
And that's how it works
It's how you get the girl, girl

And that's how it works
That's how you got the girl
