Workin' It Out - 1979 Original Broadway Cast

Oooo Workin' it out
Lalalalalalala
Workin' it out
We need a good lyric in here

The last thing I need to hear today is a melody
Lalalalalalala
I'm findin' out that nobody gives you their songs for free
Lalalalalalala

He wants one thing, he wants another
I just want to run and take cover
I need a little more time just for me
Can't you see I'm workin' it out
Workin' it out, that's what I'm tryin' to do
Working it out (Oooo, Dance for me baby)
For Leon, for me and you

Workin it out, it should be easy to do
You never had to work it out
You never had to work it out
You never had to work it out
Work it out!
Work it out for two

I hear a kind of Bee Gees record here
About broken hearts or something?
Something like

Look at the way he works
What would he know of a broken heart?
Ooo give it to me mama
To him broken heart is a phrase I should write for his God damn middle part
You'll fill it in here

He's askin' me for words that are clever
Leon and me we had five years together
I need a little more time
Time
Just for me
Can't he see?
I'm workin it out

Working it out!
You gotta give me a chance
Just cause I hear your music
Baby!
Don't mean I gotta dance

Workin it out
It should be easy to do (It should be easy)
You never had to work it out
Work it out!
Work it out for two

Here's where my boys come in
Lalala
He took my lyric kept my title
Threw out every word
Baby!
He made some crazy disco thing
It's not at all the song I heard but
Maybe his way's better
Who knows? I'm too unclear
Right now my mind's in such a mess
I hardly know I'm here
Hey baby!
Lalala

Gotta find a lyric
Gotta give ya somethin'
Tell him you were right dear
If someone else had written this I'd know just what to say
I'd say it's not my kind of song; can't we write something else today but
He might get insulted
His ego isn't small
If you don't write him something quick
We might not work at all

I've got to work it out (Don't you know that I'm workin' it out, workin' it out)
Help me work it out (Workin' it out, workin' it out, oh baby)
The music is great, now it's on you
Try even harder, that's all I can do
You never had to work it out
Let's go to work!
Work it out for two (Workin' it out, workin' it out)
