Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Life is very short

And there's no time

For fussing and fighting

So I'll ask you once again

[Verse 2]

Try to see it my way

Do I have to keep on talking till I can't go on?

Boy, you see it your way

You run the risk of knowing that our love will soon be gone

[Verse 3]

We can work it out

We can work it out

[Verse 4]

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

[Verse 5]

We can work it out, oh, babe

We can work it out

[Verse 6]

Life is very short

And there's no time

For fussing and fighting

I have always thought

That it's a crime

So I will ask you once again

[Verse 7]

Try to see it my way

Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong

Boy, you see it your way

There's a chance that we might fall apart before too long

[Verse 8]

We can work it out, yeah, babe

We can work it out

[Verse 9]

Life is very short (There is no time)

No more time

For fussing and fighting

I have always thought

That it's a crime

Dirty, dirty, dirty, dirty

So I will ask you once again

[Verse 10]

Yeah

Oh yeah

[Verse 11]

We can work it out

We can work it out

We can work it out

[Verse 12]

We can work it out, yeah

We can work it out

Hey

[Verse 13]

We can work it out

We can work it out (There's no time)

We can work it out (Hey)

[Verse 14]

We can work it out

We can work it out

Hey

[Verse 15]

We can work it out

We can work it out

Hey

[Verse 16]

We can work it out

We can work it out

Hey

[Verse 17]

We can work it out

We can work it out

Hey

[Verse 18]

We can work it out

We can work it out

Hey
