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

Don't take it too hard
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

Don't take it too hard
Just 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, oh yeah 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, every boy and girl
And share your sweet consolation when you think you can't make it through

Don't take it too hard
Happiness is around the corner
And joy lives down the street, hey
There's a world out there waiting for your call
So what are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
'cause we've all got our problems
We can get by, yes we can
Let me show you how, come on
