[Bridge]
Life is very short and there's no time
No time fussing and fighting, my friend
Now I, I've always thought that it's a crime, hey now, to say
So I will ask you once again
[Verse 1]
Trying to see it my way
Do I have to keep on talking 'til I can't go on?
While you see it your way
Run the chance that we might fall apart before too long
[Chorus]
We can work it out
I know we can work it out
[Verse 2]
Think, think what you're saying
You can get it wrong but still you think that it's alright
Think of what I'm saying, yeah
We can work it out or get it straight or say good night
[Chorus]
We can work it out
I know we can work it out, oh
[Bridge]
Life is very short and there's no time, no time
For fussing and fighting, my friend, hey yeah no, oh
I have always thought that it's a crime, oh, to say
I will ask you once again
[Verse 3]
Try to see it my way
Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong
While you see it your way, yeah
There's a chance that we might fall apart before too long
[Chorus]
We can work it out
I know we can work it out
We can work it out
Do you believe we can work it out
Oh, we can work out
Hey hey, we can work it out
We can get it together, baby
We can work it out
Woohoo hoo
We can it work out, yeah hey hey
We can work it out
I know we can work it out
We can get it straight
Hey, give me chance
Oh oh, we can work it out
I know we can work it out
Hey, we can work it out, yeah yeah
We can work it out, oh, out
We can work it out
Life is very short and there's no time
No time fussing and fighting, my friend
Now I, I've always thought that it's a crime, hey now, to say
So I will ask you once again
[Verse 1]
Trying to see it my way
Do I have to keep on talking 'til I can't go on?

Run the chance that we might fall apart before too long
