Work It Out

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Work it out, work it out darling
What did I expect to find?
I went to sleep alone
I reached for you in the middle of the night
I reached for your soul
Guess I made my own bed
Work it out, work it out darling
Work it out, work it out darling
When you're asking me to love you
Baby, can't you see
I can't give words to you
You've got to tell me what you need
All the things I should have said, but nothing...
Guess I made my own bed
Work it out, work it out darling
Work it out, work it out darling
I don't know why
We never try
Baby, I know we can
Work it out, work it out darling
Work it out, work it out darling

Being in love and having moments like this is a great experience
And you can get it if you try
Finding love and these experiences is possible, but it takes effort and a willingness to try
Strolling with the one girl
Walking leisurely with a special someone
Sighing sigh after sigh
Feeling deeply happy and content in each other's company
Just imagine someone
Picturing a scenario in your mind
Waiting at the cottage door
Someone waiting for you to come home
Where two hearts become one
A place where two people in love can come together and become closer
Who could ask for anything more?
This is an ideal situation and an example of the best that life can offer
Loving one who loves you
Being loved by someone you love deeply
And then taking that vow
Committing to each other in marriage
And if you get it, won't you tell me how?"
Asking for advice on how to find this kind of love and happiness

I hope you add like a Big Tall Tower of rooms to this place in the future, because 38 rooms is it. Because when this place opens, it will be so popular.
