LYRICS

“How Things Work”
Written: 2.14.12

Well, they said you’d never settle for anyone,
They told me your heart could never be won.
Oh, well, I know just how you work.
Your big brown eyes and that little smirk.

If she’s the one, than who am I?
You think you’re such a big player, guy?

CHORUS
I know I ain’t your mama, but I sure can teach you.
You treat girls bad, then that’s how they’ll treat you.
Yeah, you may think that she’s the one for now,
But it won’t last, no, ‘cause that not how…
Things work around here.

Well, you strut your stuff up and down the hall,
With your arm around her, but you want them all.
Oh, just once, I’d love to see you fail,
But that ain’t gonna happen, ‘cause you’re the alpha male.

Yeah, you may treat her well today,
But buddy, just hear what I have to say.

CHORUS
I know I ain’t your mama, but I sure can teach you.
You treat girls bad, then that’s how they’ll treat you.
Yeah, you may think that she’s the one for now,
But it won’t last, no, ‘cause that not how…
Things work around here.

I’m sure one day, your time will arrive,
And right into that life, you sure will dive
But breaking hearts is not the way to get there,
So just watch yourself, you so-called player.
