I remember being kissed When love was just a wish Time was on our side And death was just a myth Well I got to wishing And I felt the weight of time Then love came around and I died How do you get 'em back When they say this is the last time How do you make it last When they're gone How do you fuel the fire When they are pouring water on the wood How do you get 'em How do you get 'em back If you got a lover who failed you Don't mean they're worth leaving Some lovers would never hurt you Don't mean they're worth keeping I ain't saying I was right But I know we ain't wrong And I am breaking my back to get you home How do you get 'em back When they say this is the last time How do you make it last When they're gone How do you fuel the fire When they are pouring water on the wood How do you get 'em How do you get 'em back And I'm losing my mind Cause I'm losing my girl She's a delicate flower in a desolate world And I'm losing my mind Cause I'm losing my girl She's a delicate flower in a desolate world Oh how do you get em back And how do you make it last And how do you fuel the fire How do you fuel the fire How do you fuel the fire How do you get em back When they say it's the last time How do you make it last when they're gone
