I know you're hurting

But the way you talk to me ain't sweet

I don't deserve it

If you wanna be with me, baby

Ooh, you better

Lift me up, don't tear me down

Lift me up and we can work it out

Lift me up, be careful now

Just talk to me tenderly

And we can work it out

Lift me up, don't tear me down

Lift me up and we can work it out

Lift me up, be careful now

Just talk to me tenderly

And we can work it out

(So listen up)

Work it out, work it out

Work it out, work it out

Work it out, work it out

Work it out, work it out

(So listen up)

La, da-da-da (Work it out, work it out)

Lift me up again

I want your love (Work it out, work it out)

I want it on my skin, yeah

La, da-da-da (Work it out, work it out)

Lift me up again

I want your love (Work it out, work it out)

Let's work it out again

The door is open

I'll be waiting 'cause our time ain't done

My heart is hoping

We could save it with that sweet, sweet love

Ooh, you better

Lift me up, don't tear me down

Lift me up and we can work it out (Oh, yeah)

Lift me up, be careful now

Just talk to me tenderly

And we can work it out (Work it out)

Lift me up (Work it out), don't tear me down (Work it out)

Lift me up and we can work it out (Work it out)

Lift me up (Work it out), be careful now

Just talk to me tenderly

And we can work it out

Work it out, work it out

Work it out, work it out

Work it out, work it out

Work it out, work it out

(So listen up)

La, da-da-da (Work it out, work it out)

Lift me up again

I want your love (Work it out, work it out)

I want it on my skin, yeah

La, da-da-da (Work it out, work it out)

Lift me up again

I want your love

Let's work it out again

(So listen up)
