Work on it, work on it
Work on it, baby

Uh, yeah
Come on

Oh baby, some may think that we moved too fast
But I know you and you know me, yeah yeah
Baby, that's what makes it last
Oh darling, so many lies were spread about us
Oh, that's the heartache, that's the heartache
That makes us build all the trust

I know some people like to say
That the easiest way is to fake it
We gonna make it 
If we try
Gotta promise not to abuse it
If you use it, don't lose it or break it
'Cause we gonna make it
You and I

When they see us coming they gona say
Uh! oh-oh, uh! Oh-oh, uh! Oh-oh, uh! Oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh  
When they see us coming they'll say
Uh! oh-oh, uh! Oh-oh, uh! Oh-oh, uh! Oh-oh
Yeah (work on it, work on it, work on it, baby) (Yeah)

Some days are hard
There ain't no easy way
No matter how we try nobody is perfect (work on it, work on it, work on it, baby)
Oh yeah
But if we just 
Love each other through it all
Baby now that ? 
That makes it worth it (work on it, work on it, work on it, baby)

I know some people try to say that
That the easiest way is to fake it
Oh we gonna make it 
Uh, if we try, if we try
And gotta promise not to abuse it
If you use it, don't lose it or break it
Oh we gonna make it
You and I, I

When they hear us coming they'll say
Uh! oh-oh, uh! Oh-oh, uh! Oh-oh, uh! Oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh  
When they see us coming they'll say
Uh! oh-oh, uh! Oh-oh, uh! Oh-oh, uh! Oh-oh
Yeah (work on it, work on it, work on it, baby)

When they feel us coming they'll say
Uh! oh-oh, uh! Oh-oh, uh! Oh-oh, uh! Oh-oh (they're gonna say oh)
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh  
When they feel us coming they'll say
Uh! oh-oh, uh! Oh-oh, uh! Oh-oh, uh! Oh-oh (oh oh oh yeah)
Yeah (work on it, work on it, work on it, baby)

Oh, we gonna work on it, baby
Oh me and you, oh oh ooh!
We gonna work on it, baby
