Life is very short
And there's no time
For fussing and fighting
So I'll ask you once again

Try to see it my way
Do I have to keep on talking
Until I can't go on
Boy you see it your way
You run the risk of knowing
That our love will soon be gone

We can work it out
We can work it out

Hear what you're saying
You can get it wrong
And still you think that it's alright
Hear what I'm saying
We can work it out
And when it's straight, we'll 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
I've have ways 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 if I am wrong
Boy 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

Life is very short
And there's no time, no time
For fussing and fighting
I've have ways thought
That it's a crime (dirty, dirty, dirty, dirty)
So I will ask you once again

With a career spanning over fifty years, Tom Jones is one of the mainstays of modern music. Born in 1940 in Glamorgan, South Wales, Jones rocketed to international fame after the massive success of his second single “It’s Not Unusual” in 1964. Since that time, Jones has had two series of television variety shows, recorded over forty studio albums, and been a staple act in Las Vegas. He’s famous for wearing half-open shirts and tight pants at the shows, and for receiving a hailstorm of women’s hotel room keys. Over the years, he has reinvented himself as a pop singer, a crooner, a country music singer, and a gospel-blues singer, and has had hit funk and hip-hop songs.
