[Intro]
Girl, since we've been apart
I've had lots of time to get myself together
And now I realize that you're the only one for me
We were made for each other
I just, I just hope it's not too late
Tell me, tell me this, girl
[Verse 1]
Girl, it's plain to see
That you and I were meant to be together
Now I know that I was wrong
But this time I'll be sure to make it better
[Pre-Chorus]
Since we split up, I'm not ashamed to say
Girl, that I'm not the same without you
I'll give you all, all my love
Girl, you're all I'm thinking of
It's true
[Chorus]
Let's take our time and try again
Maybe we can work it out (Can work it out)
Let's take our time and try again, again
Maybe we can work it out
[Verse 2]
Girl, I can't describe the way I'm feeling
Now that you're not in my life
Baby, don't say no
For I just can't bear to be here alone another night
[Pre-Chorus]
If you meant the words you said to me
The day I told you that I had to leave you
Said you always love me
No matter what I say or do
Girl, I love you, too
Forever I'll be by your side
[Bridge]
I'll never stop loving you (I won't stop)
But I had to take a little time to find myself
You're always on my mind (On my mind)
I realize that I need you here, right here by my side
Maybe we can work it out
Maybe we can try again, baby
[Chorus]
Let's take our time and try again
Maybe we can work it out
(Maybe we can work it out, I know that we can work it out)
Let's take our time and try, try again
Girl, since we've been apart
I've had lots of time to get myself together
And now I realize that you're the only one for me
We were made for each other
I just, I just hope it's not too late
Tell me, tell me this, girl
[Verse 1]
Girl, it's plain to see
That you and I were meant to be together
Now I know that I was wrong
But this time I'll be sure to make it better
[Pre-Chorus]

Girl, that I'm not the same without you
I'll give you all, all my love
Girl, you're all I'm thinking of
It's true
[Chorus]
Let's take our time and try again
Maybe we can work it out (Can work it out)
Let's take our time and try again, again
Maybe we can work it out
[Verse 2]

Maybe we can work it out
(Maybe we can work it out, I know that we can work it out)
Let's take our time and try, try again
