Ne-Yo - Make It Work Lyrics

Oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You understand me
At least you say you do
Lately that's enough for me
Lookin' for perfect
Surrounded by artificial
You're the closest thing to real I've seen
Sure, everyone has their problems (oh)
That's a given
Yours are the easiest to tolerate
This wasn't what we was wantin' (oh no)
How we're livin'
But let's take this good enough and turn it to great
Baby, understand

This can only be as good as we both make it
Yes, sometimes it's gonna hurt (yes, sometimes it's gonna hurt)
We can be as happy as we want to be, girl
But we gotta make it work
We gotta make it work (work)

Ayy, oh, ayy, oh-ooh
We gotta make it work (work)
Ayy, oh, ayy, oh-ooh
We gotta make it work (work)
Ayy, oh, ayy, oh-ooh
We gotta make it work (work)
Ayy, oh, ayy, oh-ooh

Sometimes I love you
More than you'll ever know
Other times you get on my nerves (hey)
That's just reality
No, it can't always be
Kisses, hugs, and beautiful words (ayy)

You was lookin' for your prince (oh)
What you found (what you found)
Is a pauper with potential
And, no, I'm nowhere near perfect (no)
But I'm around (but I'm around)
Girl, time and patience is essential
Baby, realize

This can only be as good as we both make it
Yes, sometimes it's gonna hurt (yes, sometimes it's gonna hurt)
Hey, we can be as happy as we want to be, girl
But we gotta make it work
We gotta make it work (work)

Ayy, oh, ayy, oh-ooh
We gotta make it work (work)
Ayy, oh, ayy, oh-ooh
Oh, we gotta make it work (work)
Ayy, oh, ayy, oh-ooh
We gotta make it work (work)
Ayy, oh, ayy, oh-ooh (oh-oh-ooh ayy)

Thick and thin (ooh)
The bad outweighs the good sometimes
That doesn't mean (oh, oh-ooh) we're supposed to give it up
My problems (ooh) are yours, and yours are mine (ooh yeah)

This can only be as good as we both make it (oh, ooh-oh)
Yes, sometimes it's gonna hurt (yes, sometimes it's gonna hurt)
Hey, we can be as happy as we want to be, girl
But we gotta make it work
We gotta make it work (work)

Ayy, oh, ayy, oh-ooh
Oh, we gotta make it work (work)
Ayy, oh, ayy, oh-ooh
We gotta make it work (work)
Ayy, oh, ayy, oh-ooh
We gotta make it work (work)
Ayy, oh, ayy, oh-ooh (oh-ooh)

No, oh-ooh
No, oh-ooh ooh, hey
No, oh-ooh
No, oh-ooh ooh, hey
No, oh-ooh
Ooh-oh
