Lyrics
We’ve got to work it out
I’m tired of hearing the excuses
Your words don’t mean a thing, it’s useless
We’ve got to work it out
And I think that it’s ’bout time that I read the signs
If you think you know
Just what I need
That’s where you’re wrong
That’s where you’re wrong
I’ve got everything that I could need
The pages that I write
Is the story of my life
Let’s get into it girl
You’ve been messing with my man
And you know that I can’t stand it
You’re making eyes at him
You can’t touch what you can’t have
So baby, you should watch your back
We’ve got to work it out
I’m tired of hearing the excuses
Your words don’t mean a thing, it’s useless
We’ve got to work it out
The pages that I write
Is the story of my life
We’ve got to work it out
I’m tired of hearing the excuses
Your words don’t mean a thing, it’s useless
We’ve got to work it out
And I think that it’s ’bout time that I read the signs
If you think you know
Just what I need
That’s where you’re wrong
If you think you know
Just what I need
That’s where you’re wrong
If you think you know
Just what I need
That’s where you’re wrong
That’s where you’re wrong
I’ve got everything that I could need
The pages that I write
Is the story of my life
Let’s get into it girl
You’ve been messing with my man
And you know that I can’t stand it
You’re making eyes at him
You can’t touch what you can’t have
So baby you should watch your back
We’ve got to work it out
I’m tired of hearing the excuses
Your words don’t mean a thing, it’s useless
We’ve got to work it out
And I think that it’s ’bout time that I read the signs
We’ve got to work it out
I’m tired of hearing the excuses
Your words don’t mean a thing, it’s useless
We’ve got to work it out
The pages that I write
Is the story of my life
If you think you know
Just what I need
That’s where you’re wrong
If you think you know
Just what I need
That’s where you’re wrong
