We Can Work It Out

Song byThe Beatles

in AlbumPast Masters - Volume Two

Try to see it my way

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

While you see it your way

Run the risk of knowing that our love may soon be gone

We can work it out, we can work it out

Think of what you're saying

You can get it wrong and still you think that it's alright

Think of what I'm saying

We can work it out and get it straight or 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 my friend

I have always 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 I am wrong

While you see it your way

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

We can work it out, we can work it out

Life is very short and there's no time

For fussing and fighting my friend

I have always 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 I am wrong

While 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
