-"(Steady!) Steady, boy, steady! Are you ready?
|
|
One, two, three, four.
|
|
TRY TO SEE IT MY WAY,
|
ONLY TIME WILL TELL IF I AM RIGHT OR I AM WRONG...
|
|
-"Hang on! Hang on! Hang on! I only got the words wrong, didn't I? Been a long time.
|
This is so informal, we'll start again.
|
Can we have a few more 'wohoo's' and 'yeah'?"
|
|
-"One, two... hey, wait a minute, what is the words? "Do I have to..." I got it! I got it!"
|
|
One, two, three, four.
|
|
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 A 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 ALL RIGHT.
|
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 MIGHT 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 FUSSING AND 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,

|
WHILE YOU SEE IT YOUR WAY,

|
WE CAN WORK IT OUT,
|
WE CAN WORK IT OUT.
|
|
HEY -OO-OO-OO-
|
|
-"Thank you! Thank you very much! Cheers!"
