We Can Work It Out
The Yellow Subs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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.
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.
The Yellow Submarine's "We Can Work It Out" is a song about communication and compromise within a relationship. The lyrics suggest that the two individuals have differing opinions, but that they need to see things from each other's perspective to make their love work. The singer encourages the other person to understand their point of view while recognizing that they need to understand theirs as well. The song stresses the importance of coming to a resolution before it's too late and their love falls apart.
The line "Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend," is particularly powerful, reminding the listeners that they must make the most of their time to enjoy life to the fullest. The message is to not waste time bickering, but to work through their problems and enjoy the love they have.
