Get The Girl

You get the girl a drink
Crack a couple of jokes
Ask about her sign, where she calls home
And in no time, her Jack and coke eyes are giving it right back

And just like that, you get the girl to dance
Start spinning her 'round on the hardwood
That kind of hand in hand does a man's heart good
Then you're getting' her number
Then you're spending the summer trying to get the girl

But what do you do when she walks in the room
And you seeing what she's in
And it's thrown in your face that you made a mistake
And your reasons for leaving, leave you
Standing there looking like a damn fool
Thinking damn, who would let go of someone like that?
Yeah, they tell you how to get the girl
But they don't tell you how to get the girl back

Do you get the girl some wine?
Maybe a bundle of roses
Walk up to the door that you already closed
With your heart in your hand and you ask for forgiveness
And she understands, but she doesn't give it

So next thing you know
You're back at the same bar
You're on the same stool
You swipe the same card
And you're just going through the motions of trying to forget the girl

But what do you do when she walks in the room
And you seeing what she's in
And it's thrown in your face that you made a mistake
And your reasons for leaving leave you
Standing there looking like a damn fool
Thinking damn, who would let go of someone like that?
Yeah, they tell you how to get the girl
But they don't tell you how to get the girl back

So what do you do when it's 12:02 and you're watching her leaving
And then you call out her name just a second too late
Then she's lost, down the street
And you're just standing there looking like a damn fool
Thinking damn, who would let go of someone like that?
Yeah, they tell you how to get the girl
But they don't tell you how to get the girl back
They don't tell you how to get the girl back
