Work It Out
F.O.A.D Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you leave what you would leave behind
You struggle fight it
But the reality of it you can't deny it
The result of it (uh) you not gone like it
Cant come back to me with that crying
Loving you the way that I do
I don't like it
One that there is no solving
You said you would do better
After you just said sorry
Baby if me and you don't work it out
I promise I wont be the same without
You and I don't talk no more
It broke my heart
When you walked out the door
Getting over you is gone take a while
It broke your heart when I had a child
I understand
We could only be friends
But we gotta work
Work it out
Time after time you'd tell me
What change is necessary
Shouldered the love you carried
That may have made you weary
I became the problem that you always
Had to think about
Why should you have to be the man
When there's a man around
Support the family
And I couldn't even take you out
The straw that broke your love
Is when you saw that you can't trust me
Baby I see that is the end
Baby if me and you don't work it out
I promise I wont be the same without
You and I don't talk no more
It broke my heart
When you walked out the door
Getting over you is gone take a while
It broke your heart when I had a child
I understand
We could only be friends
But we gotta work
Work it out
Baby let's just work it out
We gone work it out
Baby let's just work it out
Baby if me and you don't work it out
I promise I wont be the same without
You and I don't talk no more
It broke my heart
When you walked out the door
Getting over you it's gone take a while
It broke your heart when I had a child
I understand
We could only be friends
But we gotta work
Work it out
Baby if me and you don't work it out
I promise I wont be the same without
You and I don't talk no more
It broke my heart
When you walked out the door
Getting over you it's gone take a while
It broke your heart when I had a child
I understand
We could only be friends
But we gotta work
