Work It Out


So I want to make it work, Which means you got to work, And make sure it’s worth, our time. I'm letting the pass go Instead of letting you go Cause I would never Pass up the chance To have the time of my life, With a person who, I could talk to, Without wondering who, Really cared how, I said it or why, I said it or when, I said it or where, I said it and who, I said it about, You’re that different kind of friend, That one I can call In the middle of the night To see if you would answer friend That one I could go to if I felt bothered and You would go be my hero and Hurt somebody friend, You are That friend that when you text me I would text back Before you could even put your phone back in your pocket to wait for a text back friend, Yea that kind of friend, You’re that kind of friend that has no end, Because you always find a way to make my day when I'm mad At you, even if I don't tell you, it’s not like you know me Like a "mother knows her child" But you do know how to make Me smile, with your smile, your beautiful smile, Your smile that could honestly light a room, And that smile that is contagious Your smile. Every time I go to my pictures in my phone I see Your smile, and that smile, makes me stop hating you to the point That I think I don't love you, as that kind of friend, That person With that smile, And that laugh, Only you would laugh like that but It’s ok, Only you have the ability to haunt my mind involuntarily So stay, Just for a little while longer, So we can make it work Like the stereotypical thought of an Asian in a warehouse making everything for America For only pennies an hour but lives in a mansion.. Only if I could only break my back just a little less for someone else, Just so you would recognize how bad I want to work it out So stay...
