Oh-ooh-oh

Oh-ooh, 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

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

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

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

(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

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

Ooh, we gotta make it work

Ay-oh, ay-oh-oh

We gotta make it work

Ay-oh, ay-oh-oh

Thick and thin

(Ooh)

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
