1.WORK IT OUT

Day and night, black and white
You take it all for granted
I'm the one who turns you on

When you don't know where you belong
And nothing seems to matter
I'm the one who's holding on

It's alright to be wrong
All we need's a little time
But nothing here can last that long

We show the world a brand new face
It's taken us all this time
All this time

All of this doubt
We get to work it out
All of this doubt
We get to work it out

Yesterday lost your way
Still looking for an answer
I'm the one who holds the key

When you don't know where you belong
When nothing seems to matter
I'll unlock this mystery

We show the world a brand new face
It's taken us all this time
All this time
All of this doubt

We get to work it out
All of this doubt
We get to work it out
All this time

(Day and night, black and white)
(You take it all for granted)
We get to work it out

(I'm the one who turns you on, turns you on)
All of this doubt
(When you don't know where you belong)

(When nothing seems to matter)
We get to work it out
(I'm the one who's holding on)

Holding on, holding on

2.MOVE WITH ME SLOWLY

I'm lost in imagination
Still contemplate animation
I just groove on your breathing
I do it all for you

You've got a problem witcha boyfriend
He don't squeeze you right

He got you facedown and waiting, baby
Keep you waiting all night
So do me a favour

Won't you
Move with me slowly
Get too close to me
Move with me slowly

Just like we're meant to be
Just like we're meant to be

Hey say sister
You're dreaming
You got stars in your eyes

A little conscious behavior
Is gonna cut
You down to size

You hear me knocking
So let me in
When your blood runs cold

And your love wears thin
It's over passion
It's under the skin

If love ain't a miracle
It sure ain't a sin
So let me in

Take me to the city
Take me on my knees
Take me anyway

You find me baby
I've got this love disease
And there ain't nothin'
I can do

3.WORK IT OUT

Day and night, black and white
You take it all for granted

I'm the one who turns you on
When you don't know where you belong
And nothing seems to matter

I'm the one who's holding on
It's alright to be wrong

All we need's a little time
But nothing here can last that long

We show the world a brand new face
It's taken us all this time
All this time

All of this doubt
We get to work it out
All of this doubt
We get to work it out

Yesterday lost your way
Still looking for an answer
I'm the one who holds the key

When you don't know where you belong
When nothing seems to matter
I'll unlock this mystery

We show the world a brand new face
It's taken us all this time
All this time

All of this doubt
We get to work it out
All of this doubt
We get to work it out
All this time

(Day and night, black and white)
(You take it all for granted)
We get to work it out

(I'm the one who turns you on, turns you on)
All of this doubt
(When you don't know where you belong)

(When nothing seems to matter)
We get to work it out
(I'm the one who's holding on)

Holding on, holding on

4.TRUTH?

I've been burning and dousing the flames
I feel the whiplash of the backlash on my face

I melt to sleep at night but I wake to trip the day
Never for you, never for me
Would I kiss your feet of clay

I'm still alive and so should I
Soak up the wave of compromise
Am I the victim of youth

Is this the truth
Why don't you tell me
Why don't you tell me

There's no conscience in charity or shame
The voice deceives me but believe me, it's the same

I see the black and white and the colour in the grey
Better for me, better for you
Gonna bleach it all away

I'm still alive and so should I
Soak up the wave of compromise
Am I the victim of youth
Is this the truth

Why don't you tell me
Why don't you tell me

The left hand gives
And the right hand takes away

Why don't you tell me
Why don't you tell me

I'm still alive and so should I
Soak up the wave of compromise

I see the scars, I hear the lies
So what's the truth
Why don't you tell me
