Young girl, I know you're sad cause it didn't work out for you
The way you expected and now you've got to start anew
I know what you're thinking, you know I've been lonely too
I can offer these words of consolation
When you think you can't make it through
There's a future for you I promise
It's not the end of your world
Cause we've all got our problems
We can get by, oh yes we can
Young man, you're down and out, your rent is overdue
You've got no money, you've got no job, boy, you haven't got a clue
Don't give up on your dreams cause it all depends on you
If you keep working night and day you know they will come true, yeah
Look over your shoulder brother
You know I will be there
Cause we've all got our problems
We can get by, yes we can, if we try
We can get by, we can
If we work together
Come on now
Young man you know you're not alone
Young girl you know you've got your home
Young people around the world
Get together, boy and girl
Share your sweet consolation when you think you can't make it through
Don't take it too hard
Happiness is around the corner (Don't take it too hard)
Joy lives down the street, hey
(Don't take it too hard)
There's a world out there waiting for your call (Don't take it too hard)
So what are you waiting for?
What 're you waiting for?
Cause we've all got our problems
We can get by, yes we can now
Let me show you how, come on!
