[Intro: Ryan Tedder]
She said, “If you want my heart, then, babe
You’re gonna have to work for it”
(Work for it, work for it, work for it)
[Verse 1: Ryan Tedder]
I said, You’re just my type
You’re a lover, you’re a fighter, you’re a conversation
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, woo, uh)
She said, It crossed my mind
But in a minute, I can tell that there’ll be complications
Ye-ye-Yeah!
But thoughts like these don’t die easy
[Chorus: Ryan Tedder]
So If you want my heart, then babe
You’re gonna have to work for it
(Work for it, work for it, work for it)
Oh, gonna make you work
And If you want my love, then babe
I’m gonna make you hurt for it
(Hurt for it, hurt for it, hurt for it)
Oh, gonna make you hurt
[Post-Chorus: Ryan Tedder]
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
[Verse 2: Ryan Tedder]
She said, I’m just your type
You’re a Friday, I’m a Monday with a reservation
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, woo, uh)
I said, “Then cut your ties
Send ’em packing on a long vacation
Yeah, she said
Thoughts like these don’t make money
[Chorus: Ryan Tedder]
So if you want my heart, then babe
You’re gonna have to work for it
(Work for it, work for it, work for it)
Oh, gonna make you work
If you want my love, then babe
I’m gonna make you hurt for it
(Hurt for it, hurt for it, hurt for it)
Oh, gonna make you hurt
[Post-Chorus: Ryan Tedder]
Oh-oh-oh
I’ll make you hurt, I’ll make you hurt, make you
Oh-oh-oh
I’ll make you hurt, I’ll make you hurt (Woo)
Oh-oh-oh
I’ll make you hurt, I’ll make you hurt, make you
Oh-oh-oh
I’ll make you hurt, I’ll make you hurt
[Chorus: Ryan Tedder]
If you want my heart, then babe
You’re gonna have to work for it
(Work for it, work for it, work for it)
Oh, gonna make you work
If you want my love, then babe
I’m gonna make you hurt for it
(Hurt for it, hurt for it, hurt for it)
Oh, gonna make you hurt
