[Verse 1]
(Hey) Try to see things my way (Hey)
Do I have to keep on talking 'till I can't go on?
(Hey) While you see it your way (Hey)
Run the risk of knowing that our love may soon be gone

[Refrain]
We can work it out
We can work it out

[Verse 2]
(Hey) Think of what you're saying (Hey)
You can get it wrong and still think that it's alright
(Hey) Think of what I'm saying (Hey)
We can work it out and get it straight, or say good night

[Refrain]
We can work it out
We can work it out

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
(Hey) Try to see things my way (Hey)
Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong
(Hey) While you see it your way (Hey)
There's a chance that we may fall apart before too long

[Refrain]
We can work it out
We can work it out, hey

[Bridge]
(Hey, hey, hey, hey)
(Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)
We can work it out
(Hey, hey, hey, hey)
(Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)
We can work it out
(Hey, hey, hey, hey)
(Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)
We can work it out
(Hey, hey, hey, hey)
(Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)
We can work it out
Got a feelin', yeah
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah
Work it out with me baby
Work it out with me baby, hey

[Verse 3]
Try to see things my way (Hey)
Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong
(Hey) While you see it your way (Hey)
There's a chance that we might fall apart before too long

[Refrain]
We can work it out
We can work it out

[Verse 2]
Think of what you're saying (Hey)
You can get it wrong and still think that it's alright (Hey, hey)
Think of what I'm saying (Hey)
We can work it out and get it straight, or say good night

[Outro]
We can work it out
(Hey, hey, hey, hey)
We, we, we, we can work it out
(Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)
(We can work it out)
(Hey, hey, hey, hey)
Oh, we can work it out
(Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)
Can you work it out baby
We can, we can work it out
(Hey, hey, hey, hey)
Oh yeah, we can work
(Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)
We can work, we can work it out

Stevie Wonder

Despite losing his sight at a young age, Stevie Wonder went on to become one of the most celebrated soul songwriters of the late 20th century. His songs manage to both innovate and catch the ears of listeners of all dispositions, whilst also being big chart hits.

Incredibly influential amongst musical circles, his voice rendered modern British soul-songwriter James Morrison close to tears the first time he heard it.
