Lyrics

When I was just a boy, my Papa said to me
Son, if you want the best, well, the best don't come for free
And if you find the one, the one to make your Queen
You better be ready, be ready, yeah, to be a King
No crown upon your head can make you into a man
You've got to do your very best, every day, best you can
This is my advice to you, sometimes the truth, it hurts
Everything worth keeping, yeah, takes a lot of work and
I've been trippin' on you, girl, yes I have
You've been trippin' on me, we gonna work it on out
I've been trippin' on you, girl, yes I have
You've been trippin' on me, we gonna work it on out
Yeah (out)
Yeah (out)
Yeah
And like you always say, our love is like the tide
Sometimes it's in and full, sometimes it is out and dry
But we keep the faith, it will come in again
Then it goes back out, 'cause that's the way it's always been
Every bed of roses, yeah, has its thorns
Ain't no use in going, throwing sticks and stones
Tell me girl, what the hell we're fighting about?
Gonna put on our work and work it on out, on out, on out
We gonna work it on out
I've been trippin' on you, girl, yes I have
You've been trippin' on me, we gonna work it on out
I've been trippin' on you, girl, yes I have
You've been trippin' on me, we gonna work it on out
Yeah (work it out)
Yeah (work it out)
Yeah
We gonna work it on out
Yeah (work it out)
Yeah (work it out)
Yeah
We gonna work it on out
Work it out (work it out)
Work it out (work it out)
We gonna work it on out
Work it out (work it out)
Work it out (work it out)
We gonna work it on out
I've been trippin' on you, girl, yes I have
You've been trippin' on me, we gonna work it on out
I've been trippin' on you, girl, yes I have
You've been trippin' on me, we gonna work it on out
