We Can Work It Out Lyrics - Roberta Flack

verse #1 

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. 

chorus: 

we can work it out, 

we can work it out. 

verse #2 

think of what you're saying. 

you can get it wrong and still you think that it's all right. 

think of what i'm saying, 

we can work it out and get it straight, or say good night.

chorus: 

we can work it out, 

we can work it out. 

bridge: 

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. 

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 

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

chorus: 

we can work it out, 

we can work it out.
