[Verse 1]
One and only night, you don't have to leave at all
A car rolls up outside on time, a moment from your call
A handshake seems more fitting than a kiss
It's such a shame that you and I should have to end like this

[Chorus]
Can't we just sit down and talk it over? (We gotta talk, we gotta talk, we've gotta talk)
Surely you can ask the better way (We gotta talk, we gotta talk, we've gotta talk)
Strange that you're the one so set on leaving
And I'm the one who said last night that it was all too late

Can't we just sit down and talk it over? (We gotta talk, we gotta talk, we've gotta talk)
Who knows, maybe in a little while (We gotta talk, we gotta talk, we've gotta talk)
We'll forget our pride, and the things we said last night
And maybe you and I can talk it out

[Verse 2]
Tonight, stay somewhere warm, they say it's gonna freeze
You may not find a place at all, so be sure and take your key
I can almost taste the silence now
Does it really matter still, who was wrong, who let who down?

[Chorus]
Oh, can't we just sit down and talk it over? (We gotta talk, we gotta talk, we've gotta talk)
Who knows, maybe in a little while (We gotta talk, we gotta talk, we've gotta talk)
We'll forget our pride, and the things we said last night
And maybe you and I can talk it out
[Outro]
Hold on, hold on
Surely you and I can talk it out
Hold on, hold on
Surely you and I can make it right
Hold on (Can't we just sit down and talk it, can't we just sit down and talk it?)
Oh, I, yeah, yeah (Can't we just sit down and talk it, can't we just sit down and talk it?)
Can't we just sit down and talk it over? (Can't we just sit down and talk it, can't we just sit down and talk it?)
Woah oh (Can't we just sit down and talk it, can't we just sit down and talk it?)
Hold on (Can't we just sit down and talk it, can't we just sit down and talk it?)
Hold on (Can't we just sit down and talk it, can't we just sit down and talk it?)
Hey, yeah (Can't we just sit down and talk it, can't we just sit down and talk it?)
Hold on (Can't we just sit down and talk it?)
