Why Can't We Work

(album: are you OK? - 2018)

Yeah, ha, ha
Yeah, yeah, huh

Hard to be mad when your crib is gated
I dealt with jealousy and I felt hatred
When you get money, you get over-hated
So I try to make more just to aggravate 'em
And you drink, and you smoke
And I wait and I hope
That you'll stay for the night
But you're leaving
And you tell me you want me
You kiss me, you love me
But you can't give me a reason

Why can't we work?
Why can't we work?
Why can't we work, baby?
Why can't this work?
Why can't this work?
You know it can't

You quick to give up 'cause you lack patience
Don't overthink if there's a chance to make it
This love thing hard, got you frustrated
But when you know it's real, you don't mind waiting
And you drink, and you smoke
And I wait and I hope
That you'll stay for the night
But you're leaving
And you tell me you want me
You kiss me, you love me
But you can't give me a reason

Just give it a chance
Give it a chance
It's only a chance
Won't you give it a chance
Just give it a chance
It's only a chance

Why can't we work?
Why can't we work?
Why can't we work, baby?
Why can't this work?
Why can't this work?
You know it can't

Why can't we work?
Why can't we work?
Why can't we work, baby?
Why can't this work?
Why can't this work?
You know it can't

It's hard to open up when you're still hurting
You tried to fall in love but it wasn't working
Compare me to your ex, I'm a better version
You know that I'm the one, you can stop searching
And you drink, and you smoke
And I wait and I hope
That you'll stay for the night
But you're leaving
And you tell me you want me
You kiss me, you love me
But you can't give me a reason

Just give it a chance
Give it a chance
It's only a chance
Won't you give it a chance
Just give it a chance
It's only a chance

Why can't we work?
Why can't we work?
Why can't we work, baby?
Why can't this work?
Why can't this work?
You know it can't

Why can't we work?
Why can't we work?
Why can't we work, baby?
Why can't this work?
Why can't this work?
You know it can't
