Something Good Can Work Lyrics

There's a spanner in the works, you know,
You gotta step up your game to make it to the top
To go-o,
Got a little competition now,
You're gonna find it hard to make it,
Livin' on your own, o-oh, o-oh

Let's make this happen, girl,
We're gonna show the world that something
Good can work, and it could work for yo-ou,
And you know that it will.

Let's get this started, girl,
We're movin' up, we're movin' up
It's been a lot to change, but yo-ou
Will always get what you want.

It took a little time
To make a little better
It's only going out,
Just one thing then another you kno-ow, you kno-ow

It took a little time
To make a little better
It's only going out,
Just one thing then another you kno-ow, you kno-ow

Let's make this happen, girl,
We're gonna show the world that something
Good can work and it could work for yo-ou,
And you know that it will.
Let's get this started, girl,
We're movin' up, we're movin' up
It's been a lot to change, but yo-ou
Will always get what you want.

The song is called "Something Good Can Work" and you got a few lyrics wrong.

Instead of "Got a little competition now, You're gonna find it hard to make it, Livin' on your own, o-oh, o-oh" It is "Got a little competition now, You're gonna find it hard to cope with Livin' on your own, o-oh, o-oh"\

And the chorus is "Let's make this happen, girl, We're gonna show the world that something Good can work and it can work for yo-ou, And you know that it will."

And instead of "It's only going out, just one thing then another" It is "It's only going up, just one thing then another"

Anyways, I love this song and this band and Alex Trimble is a beautiful man (:

I think these lyrics have a sarcastic undertone...

It's about a boy who fell in love with a girl with a lot of insecurities and while she worked hard to overcome them he was there the whole time rooting her on, proud of her.

And "moving up in the world" implies when she "bloomed" she made him a thing of the past and deemed him unworthy of this new and improved woman.

I can relate to that scenario very well and this song makes sense to me in that way.
