Verse 1
You understand me
At least you say you do
Mainly that's enough for me
Looking for perfect
Surrounded by artificial
You're the closest thing to real I see
Sure everyone had their problem
That's a given
You're the easiest to tolerate
This wasn't what we was wanting
How we're living
But lets take this good enough and turn it to great
Baby understand

Pre-Chorus
This can only be as good as we both make it
Yes sometimes it's gonna hurt
Yes sometimes it's gonna hurt
We can be as happy as we want to be girl
We gotta make it work

Chorus
We gotta make it work (ah oh)
We gotta make it work (ah oh)
We gotta make it work (ah oh)
We gotta make it work (ah oh)

Verse 2
Sometimes I love you
More than you'll ever know
Other times you get on my nerves
That's just reality
No it aint can't always be
Kisses, hugs and beautiful words
You was looking for your prince
What you find (what you found)
Is a pauper with potential
And no I'm no where near perfect
But I'm around (but I'm around)
Girl time and patience is essential
Baby realize

Pre-Chorus
This can only be as good as we both make it work
Yes sometimes it's gonna hurt
Yes sometimes it's gonna hurt
We can be as happy as we want to be girl
We gotta make it work

Chorus
We gotta make it work (ah oh)
We gotta make it work (ah oh)
We gotta make it work (ah oh)
We gotta make it work (ah oh)

Bridge
Millions think the bad out weighs the good sometimes
That doesn't mean we're supposed to give it up
My problems are yours and yours are mine

Pre-Chorus
This can only be as good as we both make it
Yes sometimes it's gonna hurt
Yes sometimes it's gonna hurt
We can be as happy as we want to be girl
We gotta make it work

Chorus
We gotta make it work (ah oh)
We gotta make it work (ah oh)
We gotta make it work (ah oh)
We gotta make it work (ah oh)
