[Intro: All]
Life is very short and there's no time
For fussing and fighting, my friend

[Verse 1: Chris]
Try to see things my way
Do I have to keep on talking 'til I can't go on?
While you see things your way
Run the risk of knowing that our love may soon be gone

[Chorus: All]
We can work it out
We can work it out

[Verse 2: JC, All]
Think of what you're saying (saying)
You can get it wrong and still you think that it's alright
(It's alright...)
Think of what I'm saying (saying)
We can work it out and get it straight or say good night

[Chorus: All]
We can work it out
We can work it out

[Refrain: Justin with All]
Said, life is very short and there's no time
For fussing and fighting, my friend
(Fussing and fighting)
Oh, I have always thought that it's a crime
So I will ask you once again, yeah
[Verse 3: Joey, All]
Try to see things my way
Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong (right or wrong)
While I can see it your way (your way)
There's a chance that we might fall apart before too long

[Chorus: All]
We can work it out
We can work it out

[Interlude: JC, Justin]
We can work it out
We can work it out
We can work it out

[Refrain: Justin with All]
Life is very short and there's no time
For fussing and fighting, my friend
(Fussing and fighting, oh oh)
I have always thought that it's a crime
So I will ask you once again, yeah

[Interlude: Justin]
Oh yeah, oh

[Middle 8: Joey & Lance, Chris, JC, Justin]
We can work it out
We can work it out...
We can work it out
We can work it out...
We can (we can) work it out (we can)

We can (we can) work it out (we can)

[Break: All, Justin, JC]
Oh, we can work it out (yeah)
We can work it out (we can work it out)

[Outro: All]
