Song Lyrics

Oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You understand me
At least you say you do
Lately that's enough for me
Looking for perfect
Surrounded by artificial
You're the closest thing to real I've seen
Sure, everyone has their problems, oh
That's a given
Yours are the easiest to tolerate
This wasn't what we was wanting, oh no
How we're living
But let's take this good enough and turn it to great
Baby, understand

[Bridge:]
This can only be as good as we both make it
Yes, sometimes it's gonna hurt (yes, sometimes it's gonna hurt)
We can be as happy as we want to be, girl
But we gotta make it work
We gotta make it work, work

[Chorus;]
Ay, oh, ay, oh, oh
Oh, we gotta make it work, work
Ay, oh, ay, oh, oh
We gotta make it work, work
Ay, oh, ay, oh, oh
We gotta make it work, work
Ay, oh, ay, oh, oh

Sometimes I love you
More than you'll ever know
Other times you get on my nerves (hey)
That's just reality
No, it can't always be
Kisses, hugs, and beautiful words

You was looking for your prince, oh
What you found (what you found)
Is a pauper with potential
And, no, I'm nowhere near perfect, no!
But I'm around (but I'm around)
Girl, time and patience is essential
Baby, realize

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

Thick and thin (ooo)
The bad outweighs the good sometimes
That doesn't mean we're supposed to give it up
My problems are yours, and yours are mine

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

Ooo
Hey
Ooo
Hey
