[Verse 1]
I want you to hold me
I want you to write your name on my skin
And get to know me
When I am vulnerable and intense
'Cause you're used to the type would just melt for you like
Butter in your hands
Want you to love me
'Cause I am nothing like them

[Chorus]
I'm a piece of work (Ah)
But I'm a work of art (Yeah)
You put it in the work (Ah)
We could work it out (Now)
You're a piece of work (Ah)
But you're a work of art (Yeah)
I put it in the work (Ah)
We could work it out

[Refrain]
We could work it out tonight (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Get a little exercise (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

[Verse 2]
If you wanna challenge
Come over and let me push your buttons
I'm hard to handle
But you get twice as good as you get
Oh, you think you're the kind who's just coasting through life
But I can make you sweat
Just try to imagine
How I can make your effort worth it
[Chorus]
I'm a piece of work (Ah)
But I'm a work of art (Yeah)
You put it in the work (Ah)
We could work it out (Now)
You're a piece of work (Ah)
But you're a work of art (Yeah)
I put it in the work (Ah)
We could work it out

[Refrain]
We could work it out tonight (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Get a little exercise (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
We could work it out tonight (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Get a little exercise (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

[Bridge]
Yeah, I know we got conflicts
But let's cross that bridge when we get to it
Oh, I know, ain't nothing that we can't fix
But let's cross that bridge when we get to it

[Chorus]
I'm a piece of work (Ah)
But I'm a work of art (Yeah)
You put it in the work (Ah)
And we could work it out (Now)
You're a piece of work (Ah)
But you're a work of art (Yeah)
I put it in the work (Ah)
We could work it out
[Refrain]
We could work it out tonight (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Get a little exercise (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
We could work it out tonight (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Get a little exercise (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
