The lyrics:

CHORUS:

How can we be lovers if we can't be friends

How can we start over when the fighting never ends

Baby, how can we make love if we can't make amends

How we can be lovers if we can't be,

Can't be friends

Look at us now, look at us baby

Still tryin' to work it out

Never get it right

We must be fools, we must be crazy

Whoa, whoa, when there's no

Communication

Whao, Whoa, it's a no win situation

CHORUS:

We lie awake, this wall between us

We're just not talking, we got so much to say

Let's break these chains, our love can free us

Whoa, Whoa, ain't it time we started tryin'

Whoa, whoa, gotta stop this love from dying

CHORUS:

Baby, love is tough but we can take it

Baby, times are rough but we can make it

We can work it out

CHORUS:
