We Can Work It Out
Navigating Love's Crossroads: Johnny Mathis Inspires Harmony in 'We Can Work It Out'
Lyrics
Try to see it my way,
Requesting understanding from the partner's perspective.
Do I have to keep on talking till I can't go on?
Expressing the difficulty of continued communication.
While you see it your way,
Acknowledging the partner's viewpoint.
Run the risk of knowing that our love may soon be gone.
Highlighting the risk that their love might end.
We can work it out,
Expressing the belief that they can resolve their issues.
We can work it out.
Reiterating the possibility of working things out.
Think of what you're saying.
Encouraging the partner to consider their words.
You can get it wrong and still you think that it's alright.
Pointing out the partner's potential to be mistaken.
Think of what I'm saying,
Asking the partner to consider the speaker's perspective.
We can work it out and get it straight, or say good night.
Suggesting resolution or the possibility of parting ways.
We can work it out,
Repeating the idea that they can find a solution.
We can work it out.
Reiterating the optimism about resolving issues.
Life is very short, and there's no time
Highlighting the brevity of life and the need for harmony.
For fussing and fighting, my friend.
Stating a disapproval of conflict and discord.
I have always thought that it's a crime,
Expressing the belief that conflict is morally wrong.
So I will ask you once again.
Repeating the plea for understanding.
Try to see it my way,
Asking again for the partner to understand the speaker's viewpoint.
Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong.
Leaving the outcome to time, uncertain of being right or wrong.
While you see it your way
Acknowledging the partner's perspective once more.
There's a chance that we may fall apart before too long.
Noting the possibility of their relationship ending.
We can work it out,
Reaffirming the belief in finding a resolution.
We can work it out.
Reiterating the hope of working things out.
Life is very short, and there's no time
Repeating the idea that life is short and should be free of conflict.
For fussing and fighting, my friend.
Reiterating the disapproval of fussing and fighting.
I have always thought that it's a crime,
Restating the belief that conflict is a moral offense.
So I will ask you once again.
Repeating the plea for understanding.
Try to see it my way,
Encouraging the partner to understand the speaker's viewpoint.
Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong.
Leaving the resolution to time, uncertain of being right or wrong.
While you see it your way
Acknowledging the partner's perspective again.
There's a chance that we may fall apart before too long.
Noting the potential for their relationship to end.
We can work it out,
Reiterating the belief in finding a solution.
We can work it out.
Reiterating the hope of working things out.
