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

 It's how you get the girl

 

 And then you say

 I want you for worse or for better

 I would weep for ever and ever

 Broke your heart, I'll put it back together

 I would weep for ever 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've 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 weep for ever and ever

 Broke your heart, I'll put it back together

 I would weep for ever 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

 

 And then you say

 I want you for worse or for better

 I would weep for ever and ever

 Broke your heart, I'll put it back together

 I would weep for ever and ever

 

 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

 

 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

 

 And that's how it works

 That's how you got the girl
