"How To Lose The Girl" lyrics

Don't let her dog sleep on the bed
Don't hold an umbrella when it's raining on her head
Don't pick her up, don't hold the door
And when she's feeling insecure
Never tell her that you're sorry
Let her cry herself to sleep
Make a home you'll never live in
Make a promise you won't keep
Always ask her for the universe
When she gives you the world
I'm telling you that's how, that's how you lose the girl

Tell her you need some time alone
After she asks you who's the girl that's in your phone
And when you know it's near the end
Don't take the blame, don't make amends
Go and walk out, turn your back and leave her crying at the door
Then you call her two months later
Missing what you had before
Tell her this time will be different
Knowing, damn, well you ain't sure
I'm telling you that's how, that's how you lose the girl

Ooh, that's how, that's how you lose the girl, mm
That's how you lose the girl, ooh
That's how you lose the girl, ooh, hm-mm

Heard that you got somebody new
I doubt she'll hang around long as I did with you
And when she's slipping through your hands
If you wanna make sure she ain't coming back again

Let her go out in the world
And let her find somebody new
Who holds on a little tighter
Treats her much better than you
Now that she knows real love
Looking back it no longer hurts
I'm telling you that's how, that's how you lose the girl, oh
That's how, that's how you lose the girl
