You got a problem
You better work it out for yourself
You got a problem
And you better work it out for yourself
Now I've got enough troubles of my own (I've got troubles)
So why don't you leave me be, leave me alone
Well now I don't mean to be cold (don't mean to be cold)
But that's the way I have to be (Oh~)
I know you don't really mean it
But misery loves company, oh
You got a problem
And you better work it out for yourself
You got a problem
Oh, you better work it out for yourself
Now you say you're unhappy 'cause things just won't go your way (won't go your way)
And you think they'll get better talking 'bout it night and day (talking, talking, talking 'bout it)
Well I used to listen to you (I used to listen)
But I just can't do that no more (no more, no more,Β no more)
Tried to all I could stand
Here I am, you're in your band, oh
You got a problem
And you better work it out for yourself
You got a problem
And you better work it out for yourself
You better (work it out, work it out)
I want you to (work it out, work it out)
Oh, for yourself
Don't throw it up to nobody else
Oh, work it out, work it out
Work it out, work it out
For yourself
You know I got enough problems of my own
Oh (work it out, work it out)
Work it out, work it out
