How are we getting along - by trying and trying all day long
Searchin' for the right words to say - to help somebody have a better day
I'm wonderin' how you're gonna get by - persevere and contrive
You solved my problem and said see ya later - maybe someday I can return the favor
Some have to hang tough to survive
Can we even sympathize
With those who never ever say die
True love's easy to respond to - stickin' to it; it'll see you through
Love reciprocated is so sweet - while you're at it help your brother's ends meet
Takes understanding to have an accord - tell the truth and keep it aboveboard
Identify and sing in tune - enter into one another's views (oooooh)
Some have to hang tough to survive
Can we even sympathize
With those who never ever say die (aaaah)
Now we're on the same wavelength - making headway instead of a stink
Feels like we're finally gainin'ground - love's what makes the world go 'round
I'm getting along just fine - tryin' to take some time
So I don't lose my mind - well anyway, you know that I tried
We've always got to try
Searchin' for the right words to say (aaaah)
Searchin' for the right words to say - to help somebody have a better day (ooooh)
