Life is very short
  And there's no time
  For fussing and fighting
  So I'll ask you once again
  
  Try to see it my way
  Do I have to keep on talking
  Until I can't go on
  Boy you see it your way
  You run the risk of knowing
  That our love will soon be gone
  
  We can work it out
  We can work it out
  
  Hear what you're saying
  You can get it wrong
  And still you think that it's alright
  Hear what I'm saying
  We can work it out
  And when it's straight, we'll 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
  I've have ways 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 if I am wrong
  Boy 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, no time
  For fussing and fighting
  I've have ways thought
  That it's a crime (dirty, dirty, dirty, dirty)
  So I will ask you once again
