If I brought a dozen roses, would you throw them in my face?
Would you turn away and lock the door, or put them in a vase?
If I promised to be good to you, would we still fall apart?
If I told you that I loved you, could you bear to break my heart?

'Cause when I'm here with you, everything works out all right
When I'm here with you, whoa
When I'm here with you, everything works out all right
When I'm here with you, whoa

If I broke down your resistance, would you give me one more try?
Would you yield to my insistence that our love can't be denied?
If I told you that I needed you, would you still let me down?
If I jumped into the ocean, would you watch me as I drowned?

'Cause when I'm here with you, everything works out all right
When I'm here with you, whoa
When I'm here with you, everything works out all right
When I'm here with you, whoa

I'm gonna work it out
I'm gonna work it out
I'm gonna work it out
I'm gonna work it out

If I tried to keep my mouth shut, would you let me tag along?
Would you see that we'd be happy, or would you say I was wrong?
If I asked you, would you tell me that it wasn't meant to be
Or would you decide to change your mind
And spend your time with me?
Oh-ho
'Cause when I'm here with you, everything works out all right
When I'm here with you, whoa
When I'm here with you, everything works out all right
When I'm here with you, oh

It's gonna take some time
It's gonna take some time
It's gonna take some time
It's gonna take some time
It's gonna take some time
