They say “Don’t go to bed angry”
They say “Always kiss goodnight”
Maybe there’s something to it
I don’t know, but what if they’re right?
If we’re gonna be forever
If it’s gonna be just us
If we’re gonna ride together
Turn to the one
Gotta make it work
I’m not saying it’s easy
Sometimes we get hurt
I promise I ain’t leaving, yeah
It’s gonna be a couple fights
Just to see who’s wrong or right
If it’s love we both know what it’s gonna take
Work
Yeah, we can make it work
I’ve seen the things that did happen
One side self destructs
I’ve seen the beautiful madness
When things erupt
Gotta make it work
I’m not saying it’s easy
Sometimes we get hurt
I promise I ain’t leaving, yeah
It’s gonna be a couple fights
Just to see who’s wrong or right
If it’s love we both know what it’s gonna take
Work
Yeah, it’s gonna take work
Can’t always be there for you
Can’t always be by your side
But I promise that I’m gon’ love you
‘Til the day I die
Until the day I die
Gotta make it work
I’m not saying it’s easy
Sometimes we get hurt
I promise I ain’t leaving, yeah
It’s gonna be a couple fights
Just to see who’s wrong or right
If it’s love we both know what it’s gonna take
Work
Yeah, we can make it work
The Power and Reality of Commitment
