[Intro: Charlie Puth]
One, two, three, four
Ooh, oh, yeah
[Verse 1: Charlie Puth]
Why are we lookin' down on our sisters and brothers?
Isn't love all that we got? Mmm
Don't we know everyone's got a father and mother?
The day we know we're all the same
Together, we can make that change
[Verse 2: James Taylor, Charlie Puth, Both]
Look around, there are too many of us crying
And not enough love to go around, oh-oh, oh
What a waste, another day
Another good one dyin'
But I know that the world will change
The day we know we're all the same
[Chorus: Charlie Puth]
Why can't we just get along?
If lovin' one another's wrong
Then how are we supposed to get close to each other?
We gotta make that change, yeah
Why can't we just get along? Mmm
[Verse 2: James Taylor, Charlie Puth, Both]
What a waste it would be to deny somebody
Of a chance to be their selves (Mmm)
What a waste it would be if we hurt for nothin'
But I know that the world can change
The day we know we're all the same
[Chorus: Charlie Puth]
(Why can't we just get along?)
Yeah, why can't we just get along?
(Why can't we just get along?) If lovin' one another's wrong
(Why can't we just get along?) Then how are we supposed to get close to each other?
We gotta make that change, yeah
[Bridge: Charlie Puth]
I know we could break apart
We don't have to go that way
Not today, ooh
[Chorus: Charlie Puth, Both, James Taylor]
Yeah, why can't we just get along?
If lovin' one another's wrong
Then how are we supposed to get close to ya? (Oh, oh)
(Why can't we just get along?) Why can't we just get along?
(Why can't we just get along?) If lovin' one another's wrong
(Why can't we just get along?) Then how are we supposed to get close to each other?
We gotta make that change, yeah
[Outro: Charlie Puth]
That change, yeah
