So, I washed my hands and took a hearty bite Oh, how I got- Oh, how I got so- Finally The mystery appeared before my eyes Hearing her play in the grass I took the marble from my hat to Bury Alone, I dug a hole into the dirt My heart wasn't strong enough I just pretended that it was If you want it, girl, go and get It Even if the pain is undeniable Moving to lose, is making a move So, I packed my bags and bought a ticket out Oh, how I got- Oh, how I got so- If you "get it," girl, do you want it?
