## Lyrics

Got your heart?

Check

Got your crazy?

You bet!

Got your heart?

Check

Got your crazy?

1, 2, 3, go!

She always gets what she wants

In the end

If you hold out your hand

She might let, let you pretend

Let me tell you about a girl I know, know

Gotta see it to believe then she'll blow, blow

Your mind and you won't let go, go

She's the devil in disguise and she knows

And now it's Saturday night

You're all alone

You're waiting for her call

Turns out she's tied up, tied up on the phone

Baby what you doing this for?

She always gets what she wants

In the end

If you hold out your hand

She might let, let you pretend

The fire in her eyes will show, show

All the answers that you're looking for you'll know, know

In time you'll decide to go, go

She'll send your mind out of control

And now it's Saturday night

You're all alone

You're waiting for her call

Turns out she's tied up, tied up on the phone

Baby what you doing this for?

She always gets what she wants

In the end

If you hold out your hand

She might let, let you pretend

Forgive me for interrupting

It's fascinating but true

Stick with me and you'll soon discover

What that girl can really do

Wanna know why don't you calm down

Your number baby about to run out

She got you good, she got you wrapped round

Head over heels yeah

You're not about, about to give in

She getting your head in a spin

I don't know baby where to begin

So tell me how it feels

Forgive me for interrupting

It's fascinating but true

Stick with me and you'll soon discover

What that girl can really do

She always gets what she wants

In the end

If you hold out your hand

She might let, let you pretend

She always gets what she wants

In the end

If you hold out your hand

She might let, let you pretend
