We Can Work It Out Lyrics

Try to see things my way
Do I have to keep on talking till I can't go on
While you see it your way
Run the risk of knowing that our love may soon be gone
We can work it out
We can work it out

Think of what you're saying
You can get it wrong and still you think that it's alright
Think of what I'm saying
We can work it out and get it straight, or say good night
We can work it out
We can work it out

Life is very short, and there's no time
For fussing and fighting, my friend
I have always thought that it's a crime
So I will ask you once again

Try to see things my way
Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong
While you see it your way
There's a chance that we might fall apart before too long
We can work it out
We can work it out

(We can work it out)
(We can work it out)
(We can work it out)
(We can work it out)

Got the feeling, yeah
Work it out with me baby
Work it out with me baby
Trust in my way
Only time will tell if I'm right or I'm wrong
While you see it your way
There's a chance that we may fall apart before too long
We can work it out
We can work it out

Think of what you're saying
You can get it wrong and still you think that it's alright
Think of what I'm saying
We can work it out and get it straight, or say good night
We can work it out
We can work it out
We can work it out
Oh, we can work it out
Can you work it out, baby
We can work it out
We can work it out
We can work it out
