  • (Oh oh oh)
    (Oh oh oh, oh oh, oh oh)
    (Oh oh)

    Stand there like a ghost
    Shaking come the rain, rain
    She'll open up the door
    And say, are you insane, -ane?

    Say it's been a long six months (oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh, oh oh)
    And you were too afraid to tell her what you want, want (oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh, oh oh)

    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 for ever and ever
    Broke your heart, I'll put it back together
    I would wait for ever 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, with pictures in frames of kisses on cheeks, cheeks
    Tell her how you must've lost your mind (oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh, oh oh)
    When you left her all alone and never told her why, why (oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh, oh oh)

    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 for ever and ever (ever and ever)
    Broke your heart, I'll put it back together
    I would wait for ever 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

    And you could know, oh
    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 (worse or for better)
    I would wait for ever and ever (ever and ever)
    Broke your heart, I'll put it back together
    I would wait for ever and ever (I want you for ever and ever)

    And that's how it works
    That's how you get the girl, girl, oh
    (That's how it works) and that's how it works
    That's how you get the girl, girl, oh (get the girl)

    (That's how it works) 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, oh

    And that's how it works
    That's how you got the girl Writer/s: Johan Karl Schuster, Max Martin, Taylor Alison Swift
