"Compromised" lyrics

The band is playin', it's loud in here
The words I'm sayin', you won't hear

But I suggest we compromise
Compromise, compromise
I'll back off if you'll step up some
Otherwise, otherwise, otherwise
We won't get that much done, no, I know

I've tried to tell you, 'cause I can see
Your needs compel you, as mine do me

But I suggest we compromise
Compromise, compromise
I'll back off if you'll step up some
Otherwise, otherwise, otherwise
We won't get that much done, no, I know

How're we s'posed to twist an' shout
If you don't care to work it out today?
How're we s'posed to boogaloo
If "no" is all I see that you can say?
(That you can say)

Well, I can tango if you can waltz
Our whole shebango has got its faults

But I suggest we compromise
Compromise, compromise
I'll back off if you'll step up some
Otherwise, otherwise, otherwise
We won't get that much done, no

I say compromise
Compromise, compromise
I'll back off if you'll step up some
Otherwise, otherwise, otherwise
We won't get that much done, no, I know

And we won't get that much done, no, I know
We won't get that much done, no, I know
