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 might 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 might fall apart before too long
We can work it out
We can work it out

NOTES:

To take clothing up = to make it shorter

Want to Practice?

June says:
“A note before I begin: British trousers = American pants. I may use the terms interchangably in this tutorial
after living in Canada for the past 4 years
As I am all of 5′ 2″ tall, it’s very rare that I find trousers that aren’t too long, and yet the petite ranges are
typically just slightly too short for me. So, as I have to shorten my pants every time I buy a pair, I thought
you might like to see how I do…” CARRY ON READING - https://www.planetjune.com/blog/how-to-take-
