Why Can’t We Work - Intellectual

[Intro]

Yeah, ha, ha

Yeah, yeah, huh

[Verse 1]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

Why can't we work?

Why can't we work, baby?

Why can't this work?

You know it can

[Verse 2]

You quick to give up 'cause you lack patience

Don't overthink, give us a chance to make it

This love thing hard, got you frustrated

But when you know it's real, you don't mind waiting

[Pre-Chorus]

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

[Bridge]

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

[Chorus]

Why can't we work?

Why can't we work, baby?

Why can't this work?

You know it can

Why can't we work?

Why can't we work, baby?

Why can't this work?

You know it can

[Verse 3]

It's hard to open up when you 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

[Pre-Chorus]

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

[Bridge]

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

[Chorus]

Why can't we work?

Why can't we work, baby?

Why can't this work?

You know it can

Why can't we work?

Why can't we work, baby?

Why can't this work?

You know it can
