Had to steal daddy's car, park it far from her house
And throwing rocks at her window till she's sneaking out
How to get a college kid to get you good stuff?
Mix a perfect drink in a sonic cup?
How to lean back, fake a yawn

Stretch your arm 'round her shoulder
Pull her closer til she let you lean in for a kiss?
How to turn a twenty into saturday night?
How to make her momma let you have her till midnight?
How not to let her know she's got you caught?

These are the things that you learn
When your heart just wants to burn, burn
These are the steps that you take
When you're only thinking one thing
And you don't know nothing 'bout a promise and forever
All you know is nothing's better than being together
And the only thing you want in the world, is a girl

How to act like you're listening to her about her day
When she's talking and she's blocking the game?
How to shut your mouth when it's that time of the month
Knowing when she's mad and when she's really just drunk?
And you swear that you'll change all your ways
Just to get her to believe you and move into your man cave
How to hide a ring in your pocket for weeks?
How to say them four words and make 'em sound so sweet
That she'd never ever say no? No, no, no

These are the things that you learn
When your heart just wants to burn, burn
These are the steps that you take
When you're only thinking one thing
And you don't know nothing 'bout living ever after
But you know you're nothing unless you get to have her

And the only thing you want in the world, is a girl
Oh, you won't believe the way she's got you acting
She'll talk you into things you never thought would happen
When the only thing you want in the world, is a girl
Mm, yeah, just a girl
Mmhmm, just a girl, just a girl
