Lyrics

Ooh uh ooh, ooh uh ooh, 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 That's a given Yours are the easiest to tolerate This wasn't what we was wanting How we're living But let's take this good enough and turn it to great Baby, understand This can only be as good as we both make it Guess sometimes it's gonna hurt (guess 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 Ay oh, ay oh, oh We gotta make it work Ay oh, ay oh, oh We gotta make it work Ay oh, ay oh, oh We gotta make it 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 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 This can only be as good as we both make it Guess sometimes it's gonna hurt (guess 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 Ay oh, ay oh, oh We gotta make it work Ay oh, ay oh, oh We gotta make it work Ay oh, ay oh, oh We gotta make it work Ay oh, ay oh, oh Thick and thin 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 This can only be as good as we both make it Guess sometimes it's gonna hurt (guess 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 Ay oh, ay oh, oh We gotta make it work Ay oh, ay oh, oh We gotta make it work Ay oh, ay oh, oh We gotta make it work Ay oh, ay oh, oh
