Song lyrics

Send "Work" ringtones to your cell

If you only once would let me 
Only just one time 
Then be happy with the consequence 
With whatever's gonna happen tonight 

Don't think we're not serious 
When's it ever not? 
The love we make is give and its take 
I'm game to play along 

All I can say 
I shouldn't say 
Can we take a ride? 
Get out of this place while we still have time. 

All the best DJ's are saving 
Their slowest song for last 
When the dance is through it's me and you 
C'mon would it really be so bad? 

The things we think might be the same 
But I won't fight for more 
It's just not me to wear it on my sleeve 
Count on that for sure 

All I can say 
I shouldn't say 
Can we take a ride? 
Get out of this place while we still have time. 
You wanna take a ride? 
Get out of this place while we still have time. 
Yeah we still have time. 

Can't say I was never wrong 
But some blame rests on you 
Work and play they're never ok 
To mix the way we do 

All I can say 
I shouldn't say 
Can we take a ride? 
Get out of this place while we still have time. 
You wanna take a ride? 
Get out of this place while we still have time. 
Yeah we still have time.

163 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal This song is highly addictive. I like this song and im usually not a person to like jolly songs. Dont get me wrong this song is not jolly but due to the melody it sorta sounds like one that is (least it does to me OK! hehe). I like the lyrics and the melody does fit it well. The song isint repetitive and infact comes together wonderfully.

5 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal I luv this song. The message that it's implying throughout the whole song is one i can really connect to and i think alot of other kids too. But also, like said in previous discussions, the tune is catchy, and i think quite beautiful. Something that i can relate to and my parents will tolerate lol. So yah, i luv this song. One of their bests

(kill, 23, polaris...but like i said before, thy're ALL good!) That's true, I suppose. I really like Polaris though. But I dislike Kill even worse than Work. Speaking of which, I've been listening to it (Work) more these days and I think I'm liking it more. :]
