Gotta make a love work out
before you get you got to give
Gotta make a love work out
before you die you got to live
If thatĹ’s what itĹ’s all about
then thereĹ’s nothing standing in my way
IĹ’m telling you all IĹ’ve got to be on my way
I used to keep on trying from day to day
to keep from dying and fading away
it seems like a strange thing for me to say
IĹ’m so tired of looking the other way
Love work out
You gotta make a love work out
ThereĹ’s no use hiding behind the clouds
You gotta make a love work out
I dare you to scream it right out loud
If thatĹ’s what itĹ’s all about
then thereĹ’s nothing standing in your way
IĹ’m telling you all youĹ’ve got to be on your way
I used to keep on trying from day to day
to keep from dying and fading away
it seems like a strange thing for me to say
IĹ’m so tired of looking the other way
So love work out
