[Verse 1: Paul McCartney]

[Bridge: Paul McCartney & John Lennon]
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
[Verse 3: Paul McCartney]
Try to see it my way

[Chorus: Paul McCartney]
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
[Verse 4: Paul McCartney]
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
[Chorus: Paul McCartney]
We can work it out
We can work it out
