How You Get The Girl (Taylor’s Version) Lyrics
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
[Verse 1]
Stand there like a ghost, shakin' 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
[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'll 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
And that's how it works
That's how you get the girl, girl
Remind her how it used to be, be, yeah, yеah
Of pictures in frames, of kisses on cheeks, cheeks
Tеll her how you must have lost your mind, ooh
When you left her all alone and never told her why, why
[Pre-Chorus]
And that's how it works
That's how you lost the girl
And now you say
[Chorus]
"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 (Put it back together)
I would wait forever and ever (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, yeah
[Bridge]
And you know
That I don't want you to go
[Break]
Remind me how it used to be
Pictures in frames of kisses on cheeks
And say you want me, yeah, yeah, 'cause
And then you say
"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 (I want you forever and ever)"
And that's how it works
That's how you get the girl, girl ('Cause it's how it works)
And that's how it works
That's how you get the girl, girl (Get the girl, that's how it works)
And that's how it works (Oh)
That's how you get the girl, girl (Oh)
And that's how it works
That's how you get the girl, girl
[Outro]
And that's how it works
That's how you got the girl

“How You Get The Girl” is a song that I wrote about how when we’re young, which most of my friends and most of my peers are, a lot of the time, we take for granted a really good relationship and let go of it and go out into the world and then realize that you want it back. This song is kind of an instruction manual for a guy who has broken up with his girlfriend and lets six months go by and the lengths he will need to go to to get her back. It’s not gonna be as simple as just sending a text message, it’s like “‘Sup? Miss you,” it’s not gonna work. He will need to do all the things in this song.
