Work It Out Lyrics

[Intro]
(Aye, aye, aye, aye)
Damn, I'm sorry you had to find out like that
(Aye, aye, aye, aye)
Wait a minute
Can we talk a minute? Oh
I'm sorry you had to find out this way

[Verse 1]
There's this guy I've been seein', hold on though
Every time I close my eyes, he's in my thoughts
We've been going through it for some time now
It ain't my fault, no
I'm just tryna be truthful to you
And let you know

[Chorus]
Every time I try to leave, something always tells me no
And just when I think it's working itself out, can't be so
Everything we worked so hard for, should we let it go?
It's no fair to leave without tryna work it out

[Verse 2]
And there's someone else you've been seeing
I ain't a fool, no
And it's been going on for some time now
It's so obvious
Now she's been taking my place some of the time that you've been gone, yeah
Why won't you just be truthful to me, yeah, and let me know
(Truthful, no)
[Chorus]
Every time I try to leave something always tells me no
(I try to leave, I try to leave, aye aye, oh, oh)
And just when I think it's working itself out, can't be so
Everything we worked so hard for, should we let it go?
(Hey, oh, yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah)
It's no fair to leave without (Without you) tryna work it out

[Bridge]
(And I know, oh) I know sometimes it can get rough
It means so much when it comes to us
I can't just walk away from the only thing I know
(The only thing I know)
Tell me if you think it's worth working out
'Cause I'll be right here if you have no doubt (No doubt)
That we can (That we can) make it, 'cause, baby

[Chorus]
Every time I try to leave something always tells me no (Yeah)
(It tells me so, baby)
And just when I think it's working itself out, can't be so (Hey, hey, hey)
Everything we worked so hard for, should we let it go?
(Yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah)
It's no fair to leave without tryna work it out

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
