We Can Work It Out
The Beatles퀀 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Try to see it my way,
Do I have to keep on talking till I can't go on?
While you see it your way,
Run the risk of knowing that our love may soon be gone
We can work it out,
We can work it out

Think of what you're saying

You can get it wrong and still you think that it's alright
Think of what I'm saying,
We can work it out and get it straight, or say good night
We can work it out,
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
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 may fall apart before too long
We can work it out,
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
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 may fall apart before too long

We can work it out,
We can work it out

Overall Meaning

The Beatles' song “We Can Work It Out” is a plea for communication and compromise in a relationship. The singer is asking their partner to try to see things from their perspective and to work together to find a solution to their issues. The song is structured as a conversation between the two partners with the singer repeatedly asking their partner to "try to see it my way" and reminding them that "life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting." The chorus serves as a reminder that they can work through their problems if they communicate and compromise.

The use of the phrase "we can work it out" throughout the song is intended to be optimistic and hopeful. It's a message of compromise and reconciliation, and it's evident in the repetition of those lines. The use of the phrase twice at the end of each verse and the chorus means to emphasize the repeated plea for resolution within the relationship.

The song was written by Paul McCartney and John Lennon, and it was recorded in 1965. In addition to the romantic implications of the song, it could also be interpreted as a message for peace and unity during a turbulent time in history. The song's message of compromise and communication is intended to be universal and extend beyond just personal relationships.

Line by Line Meaning

Try to see it my way,
Understand my perspective and point of view.

Do I have to keep on talking till I can't go on?
Must I continue explaining until I'm exhausted?

While you see it your way,
You have your own perspective that I need to understand.

Run the risk of knowing that our love may soon be gone
Ignoring each other's point of view puts our relationship at risk.

We can work it out,
We have the ability to resolve this issue.

Think of what you're saying
Consider what you're communicating and its potential impact.

You can get it wrong and still you think that it's alright
Even if you make mistakes, you might think they're acceptable.

Think of what I'm saying,
Reflect on my ideas and opinions as well.

We can work it out and get it straight, or say good night
We have to resolve our differences or end our relationship.

Life is very short, and there's no time
Life is brief, and we shouldn't waste it on arguments.

For fussing and fighting, my friend
Fighting and arguing is a waste of time and energy, my friend.

I have always thought that it's a crime,
I believe fighting and arguing is a crime against time and love.

So I will ask you once again
I will request once more.

There's a chance that we may fall apart before too long
Not resolving our differences might lead to separation.

@@jwaj ZzzZzzzz. You PIA-people have nothing to bring to this subject. You either throw insults, use STUPID oneliners or use the retarded "Exactly the same!!!" argument that was debunked ages ago.

You choosed to use a stupid "oneliner" and then went back to your little la la land where you live with both your eyes and ears closed.

Since you are CLUELESS about this subject you could not answer me like an adult.

I am not claiming that the "Featles" theory are real i am only claiming that James Paul McCartney was REPLACED late 1966.

It is not as impossible as you dishonest people claim.

*JPM had a ROUND head. "Sir Paul" does NOT. The skullshape can NOT change once grown up. It is a SCIENTIfIC FACT. Different skullshape=different man.

*JPM had B R O W N eyes. That is OFFICIAL information. William have green/light eyes. Do not act stupid on purpose. You know just like i do that our eyecolours stays the same.

*He is taller than JPM was. That he had a growth spurth at the end of 1966 at the age of 24 is a silly narrative.

*"Sir Paul" have said ON camera that he joined B E A T L E S as an already set up affair. That is NOT how JPM joined the band. A bandmember in Lennons group invited McCartney to join and back then they weren't even called Beatles! If "Sir Paul" told the truth how he joined the band then he admitted that he is NOT Paul McCartney.

See this is logical thinking and knowledge. This is discussion and arguments. Not retarded "hErpa deRp ninJa tuRtlEs" oneliners.

"Before 1967 JPM was a skilled bassist that could play some other instruments but he really did shine on bass. From 1967 and forward "Paul" could play ALL instruments there was, sing higher and write and read music. That is a HUGE transformation musically. If you think that happened naturally you sure are gullible.

*JPM had a warm personality and was humble. William is cold and very arrogant.

*JPM said in a interview (The real JPM had a very thick Liverpool accent by the way) that he HATED travelling and hinted he would retire in the futute. But the man without the Liverpool-accent travels around the globe and still haven't retired.

*Lennon hinted that JPM was "Yesterday" and William "Another day" all thoose years ago. And The Who sang openly in a famous song in the 70's about JPM's replacement.

*All the clues, codes shows that "Sir Paul" and NOT Ringo is "Billy Shears". Since "Sir Paul" real name is William (as George Harrison have called him ON camera) it is only logical that "Sir Paul" nicknames are Billy Shears/Billy/Bill.

*George Harrison saying: "Fab...fab three" and "Beatle Bill" in the Imagine documentary is very telling.

*"Sir Paul" and the corrupted media lies and claims that PID was started by an american dj. The only narrative that is true regarding this is that it was Beatles THEMSELVES that started PID when they released Sgt Pepper in 1967!

"Sir Paul" saying other nonsense like "We ran out of red roses" is a clue in itself. He wants people to discover what he actually says doesn't make any sense.

*JPM had no problems letting Lennon be the bandleader. But Billy was a controllfreak, a druggie and without an explanation he suddenly was Beatles new bandleader in 1967.

There are endless examples out there why "Sir Paul" and JPM are NOT "exactly the same!!!" and you would have known this if you had stopped being lazy all your life and for once doing some research. Taking anything in life for granted will punish you as i just showed you.

I made my arguments against your silly oneliners. I owned you. Why ? Because i live my life with eyes and ears OPEN and i did the research.

Know this my lazy friend: Since Beatles/Fab four was: John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr, that makes "Beatle Bill" not a real Beatle since history will not allow it to have existed two Paul McCartneys.

If "Sir Paul" will be mourned as JPM when he dies me and alot of other people are going to counter that false narrative. You can count on it.

Long live the memory and legacy of the REAL James Paul McCartney!

I love the concept of this song: Lennon is just trashing people who are trying to decipher every bit of obscure Beatles' lyrics, when they're really just fooling themselves. They're trying to peel back the layers of Beatles music like an onion, when it's actually a "glass onion", in that it's all clear, there's nothing of substance to even see in much of it. "The walrus was Paul" is just thrown in to confuse these people even more.

It's packed full of clues, it's meant to be so

The viola at the end, for instance ..it's a WHITE viola in the films for Day in the Life and Blue Jay Way ..very significant ..white is funereal and the sensual sloping curves might evoke the androgynous gestalt of a certain allegedly deceased and risen band member

And the reference to the glass onion itself ..it's a weighted magnifier for looking at details on a POSTER or also (in archaic English) the chunky hand holds on a fancy coffin ..hence "looking thru a glass onion" is the perspective of the Dead Man

The beatles are the only band where people obsess over every lyric want to know who played guitar on a given track who did this or that. Not only is there a catalog of genius songs but a whole mythology to explore track by track break downs of who did what who was your favorite beatle etc. I know of no other band where peole want to know that level of detail. It speaks to how monumental they were in changing our culture and altering the course of popular music.

Lennon wrote the song to confuse people who "read in" to Beatles songs, searching for a hidden meaning, which annoyed him.[2][3] With this in mind, the lyrics are intended to confuse the listener. Most lines refer to earlier Beatles songs, including "Strawberry Fields Forever", "I Am the Walrus", "Lady Madonna", "The Fool on the Hill", and "Fixing a Hole". The song also refers to the "Cast Iron Shore", a coastal area of south Liverpool known to local people as "The Cazzy".[4][5][6] Lennon dismissed any deep meaning to the mysterious lyrics: threw the line in—"the Walrus was Paul"—just to confuse everybody a bit more. It could have been "the fox terrier is Paul." I mean, it's just a bit of poetry. I was having a laugh because there'd been so much gobbledygook about Pepper—play it backwards and you stand on your head and all that.[7]

"Glass Onion" was a name suggested by Lennon for the Iveys, a group who signed to Apple in 1968 and later became Badfinger.
From Wikipedia,

@olskzeri2723

Like i have answered before, that official explanation is just nonsense.

"Glass onion" consists of several PID-songs and it is a PID song trogh and trough. Even the video to the song includes a very "in our face" clue that Paul was replaced with William.

Do not hold on to tightly that copying and pasting from Wikipedia is the same as the truth.

The original had bass on left channel, drums on right channel, and vocals in the middle (50/50 each side). Like with a lot of stereo Beatles songs, this often made it sound weird with headphones and off-balance. This version seems to have percussion/drums along with the vocals in the middle, guitar on the left with piano and tambourine on the right. The bassey-ness seems consistent on both channels too.

Mad talent in this production. The song selection was Perfect for a dive into Beatles lore (that is why John wrote it) and the imagery rings with humor and irony. It gives us Ringo with a psychedelic persona. John & Yoko hiding their nakedness. George as the Fool on the Hill (and living there still--he remained true to the transcendental view). Paul replaced by Billy Shears as John sings, "Nothing is real." (But which was unreal, Paul or Shears?) In a word, brilliant.
