Make It Work

Song byNe-Yo

Ooh uh ooh,ooh uh ooh yeih yeh

You understand me

At least you say you do

Lately thats enough for me

Looking for perfect

Surrounded by artificial

You're the closest thing to real i've seen

Sure, everyone has their problems

Thats a given

Yours are the easiest to tolerate

This wasn't what we was wanting

How we're living

But let's take this good enough and turn it to great

Baby understand...

This can only be as good as we both make it

Guess sometimes its gonna hurt (yes sometimes its gonna hurt)

We can be as happy as we want to be girl

But we gotta make it work

We gotta make it work...

Ay oh ay oh oh

We gotta make it work...

Ay oh ay oh oh

We gotta make it work...

Ay oh ay oh oh

We gotta make it work...

Ay oh ay oh oh

Sometimes i love you

More than you'll ever know

Other times you get on my nerves (hey)

That's just reality

No, it can't always be

Kisses, hugs, and beautiful words

You was looking for your prince,ooh

What you found (wat u found)

Is a pauper with potential

And no, i'm nowhere near perfect..NO

But i'm around (but im around)

Girl, time and patience is essential

Baby realize...

This can only be as good as we both make it

Guess sometimes its gonna hurt (guess sometimes its gonna hurt)

We can be as happy as we want to be girl

But we gotta make it work

We gotta make it work...

Ay oh ay oh oh

We gotta make it work...

Ay oh ay oh oh

We gotta make it work...

Ay oh ay oh oh

We gotta make it work...

Ay oh ay oh oh

Thick and thin, (ooh)

The bad outweighs the good sometimes

That doesn't mean we're 'spose to give it up

My problems are yours,and yours are mine

This can only be as good as we both make it

Guess sometimes its gonna hurt (guess sometimes its gonna hurt)

We can be as happy as we want to be girl

But we gotta make it work

We gotta make it work...

Ay oh ay oh oh

We gotta make it work...

Ay oh ay oh oh

We gotta make it work...

Ay oh ay oh oh

We gotta make it work...

Ay oh ay oh oh
