Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Stand there like a ghost

Shaking from the rain, rain

She’ll open up the door

And say, "Are you insane-ane?"

Say it’s been a long six months

And you were too afraid

To tell her what you want, want

[Verse 2]

And that’s how it works

That’s how you get the girl

And then you say

[Verse 3]

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

[Verse 4]

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

[Verse 5]

Remind her how it used to be, be

Yeah, with pictures in frames

Of kisses on cheeks, cheeks

Tell her how you must have lost your mind, ooh

When you left her all alone

And never told her why, why

[Verse 6]

And that’s how it works

That’s how you lost the girl

And now you say

[Verse 7]

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

[Verse 8]

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

[Verse 9]

Yeah, and you know, oh

That I don’t want you to go

[Verse 10]

Remind me how it used to be

Pictures in frames of kisses on cheeks

And say you want me

Yeah, and then you say

[Verse 11]

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 want you forever and ever

[Verse 12]

And that’s how it works

That’s how you get the girl, girl (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)

[Verse 13]

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, girl

That’s how it works

That’s how you got the girl
