But you've got Paul writing, 'We can work it out/ We can work it out' real optimistic, you know. And me, impatient, 'Life is very short and there's no time/ for fussing and fighting, my friend.''PAUL circa-1994: 'I wrote it as more of an up-tempo thing, country and western. I had the basic idea, the title, had a couple of verses… then I took it to John to finish it off and we wrote the middle together, which is nice – 'Life is very short/ And there's no time for fussing and fighting my friend.' Then it was George Harrison's idea to put the middle into waltz time, like a german waltz… The lyrics might have been personal. It is often a good way to talk to someone or to work your thoughts out. It saves you going to a psychiatrist, you allow yourself to say what you might not say in person.' 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 goneWe can work it out We can work it outThink 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 goodnightWe can work it out We can work it outLife 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 againTry to see it my way Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong While you see your way, There's a chance that we may fall apart before too longWe can work it out We can work it outLife 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 againTry 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 longWe can work it out We can work it out |
