[Part I: How You Get The Girl]
[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
And that's how it works
That's how you get the girl
And then, you say
[Chorus]
I want you for worse or for better
I would wait forever and ever
Broke your heart, I'd put it back together
I would wait forever and ever
And that's how it works
That's how you get the girl, girl oh-oh, oh
And that's how it works
That's how you get the girl, girl
[Part II: Clean]
[Verse 1]
The drought was the very worst, ah-ah, ah-ah
When the flowers that we'd grown togеther died of thirst
It was months and months of back and forth, ah-ah, ah-ah
You're still all ovеr me like a wine-stained dress I can't wear anymore
[Pre-Chorus]
Hung my head as I lost the war
And the sky turned black like a perfect storm
[Chorus]
The rain came pouring down
When I was drownin', that's when I could finally breathe
And by mornin'
Gone was any trace of you, I think I am finally clean
[Post-Chorus]
I think I am finally clean
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Said, I think I am finally clean
[Part III: How You Get The Girl/Clean]
[Bridge]
And you know
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
When I don't want you to go, oh, oh
[Bridge]
Ten months sober, I must admit
Just because you're clean, don't mean you don't miss it
Ten months older, I won't give in
Now that I'm clean, I'm never gonna risk it
The drought was the very worst, ah-ah, ah-ah
When the flowers that we'd grown together died of thirst
Oh-oh
[Chorus]
The rain came pouring down
When I was drownin', that's when I could finally breathe
And by mornin'
Gone was any trace of you, I think I am finally clean
The rain came pouring down
When I was drownin', that's when I could finally breathe
And by mornin'
Gone was any trace of you, I think I am finally clean
[Part IV: How You Get The Girl]
[Pre-Chorus]
And then you said
[Chorus]
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
And that's how it works oh-oh
That's how you get the girl
And that's how it works
That's how you get the girl
Oh-oh
[Part V: Clean]
[Bridge]
It's been ten months sober, I must admit
Just because you're clean, don't mean you don't miss him
Ten months older, I won't give in
Now that I'm clean, I'm never gonna risk it
[Part VI: How You Get The Girl/Clean]
[Outro]
That's how you get clean
That's how you get clean, yeah
That's how you get clean
I think I am finally clean
I said I think I am finally clean
