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.

15 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal I just saw Jimmy in concert and they were AMAZING!!!!!!!! This was one of my favorite songs they played. Not my favorite Jimmy song, but extremely good and it's been stuck in my head for a while.

8 posts	yeah..this is a pretty good song. theyre better theyre worse but i like the beat, the lyrics aint abd so why not. adkins along with te band say this song is about a relationship at work or through work. "can we take a ride get out of this place while we still have time" for more on this song there is info at mtv.com/search/jimmyeatworld if thats not the correct URL than try and do it manually i think "kill" and "23" are a slight bit above songs like this and futures

13 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal I love this song.. mostly cos i was recently in a relationship with a colleague and it went pear-shaped. '' work and play theyre never ok to mix the way they do'' theres a valuable lesson to be learnt for all. and the album has really grown on me,i love it

14,084 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal i really like this, it sort of relates to my whole highschool experience. i like how they set up the video with the kids talking about highschool. sometimes you just want a change, and i think that's partly what this song is about. getting out before we all go insane. great song
