Try to see it my way,
Do I have to keep on talking till I can 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 goodnight.

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 it 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 may fall apart before too long.

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 it 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 may fall apart before too long.

We can work it out,
We can work it out.
