Once when I seventeen I had a dream to be somebody
All I was gonna need was my suitcase packed with poetry
Inside I heard a voice but life gave me little choice
Responsibility or so it seemed
They had it all planned for me
Planned for me
If I were you, well maybe I'd be stronger
Maybe I could find my way around a dark corner
Maybe I'd appreciate a sunny day on the water
But I'm not you, I'm just me being the best person I can be

[Chorus:]
At least I'm workin' on it
You know I'm workin' on it
I'm workin' on, workin' on it

You don't have to be afraid cause you make mistakes along the way
We all just need a break and with a little luck, we'll be okay
I think I heard it said life is not a destination
It's a journey with no end, journey with no end
And it goes on and on and on
On and on and on
What would you do?
What would you do if you were me?
Maybe you and I could fly away together
Maybe I'd be happy then not influenced like the weather
Who knows maybe we'd fight
Or maybe we'd have that brand new baby boy, the one we've always dreamed about
Point is, I'm willing to try

[Chorus]

What would you do?
What would you do if you were me?

Once when I seventeen I had a dream to be somebody

I won't lie
Sometimes it seems just too much to ask
For love to last I play the strong one holding on
Keeping it together
The man with the plan
When I know better baby
All I can do Is hold on to you
And keep workin' on it baby
Get down and dirty
Not afraid to sweat
To have to earn it
Workin' on it, baby
Up all night
Work on it baby
'Till we get it right
Workin' on it baby
I won't lie
I have felt like walking out before
Closing the door
But like the strong one holdin' on
Keepin' it together
The man with the plan
Girl we both know better
All I can do
Is run back to you and keep
Workin' on it baby
Get down and dirty
I'm not ashamed to say
That I'm still learnin'
Workin' on it, baby
Up all night
Work on it baby
'Till we get it right
I ain't proud
I ain't above it
You'll do anything for something
When you love it
All I can do
Is hold on to you and keep
Workin' on it baby
Get down and dirty
Not afraid to sweat
To have to earn it
Workin' on it, baby
Up all night
Work on it baby
'Till we get it right
Workin' on it baby
Get down and dirty
I'm not ashamed to say
That I'm still learnin'
Workin' on it, baby
Up all night
Work on it baby
'Till we get it right
Workin' on it baby... workin' on it baby
We'll be workin' on it baby...
workin' on it baby
We'll be workin' on it baby
Workin' on it baby
We'll be workin' on it baby
Just keep workin' on it my love for you goes?
No baby, I don't think so
Has this prairie sky ever been so blue?
Have I ever been less afraid of the unknown?
You know since I met you
You've been my best friend
In that instant
I knew I was home
Some things you just know for sure
It's like the faith of a child
You bring out the best in me
And you bring out something wild
Is the sun gonna shine on a rainy night?
I don't think so
Does once in a lifetime happen twice?
I don't think so
Could I love you any more
Could anything ever be more right?
Would life be worth livin'
Without you here to hold?
No baby, I don't think so
This love is physical
Unconditional
Oh it's spiritual
It's all wrapped up into one baby
And as the universe unfolds
I wanna watch it all right here with you
Every day until my life is done
Is the sun gonna shine on a rainy night?
I don't think so
Does once in a lifetime happen twice?
I don't think so
Could I want you any more
Could anything ever be more right?
Can words explain how deep my love for you goes?
No baby, I don't think so

I won't lie
Sometimes it seems just too much to ask
For love to last I play the strong one holding on
Keeping it together
The man with the plan
When I know better baby
All I can do Is hold on to you
And keep workin' on it baby
Get down and dirty
Not afraid to sweat
To have to earn it
Workin' on it, baby
Up all night
Work on it baby

Workin' on it, baby
Up all night
Work on it baby
'Till we get it right
Workin' on it baby... workin' on it baby
We'll be workin' on it baby...
workin' on it baby
We'll be workin' on it baby
Workin' on it baby
We'll be workin' on it baby
