We Can Work It Out Lyrics

Performed by Paul McCartney

Recorded live at the Limehouse Television Studios, London for MTV's 'Unplugged', 25 January 1991


-"(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,
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.

HEY -OO-OO-OO-



-"Thank you! Thank you very much! Cheers!"
