Live with a girl almost out of control? See if that works! (4,2,1,5)
I believe the answer is:
give it a whirl
'see if that works' is the definition.
(phrase used to tell someone to try something out)
'live with a girl almost out of control?' is the wordplay.
'almost' means to remove the first letter.
'out of control?' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'out of control' mean this).
'live'+'with'+'a'+'girl'='livewithagirl'
'livewithagirl' with its initial letter taken away is 'ivewithagirl'.
'ivewithagirl' with letters rearranged gives 'GIVE IT A WHIRL'.
(Another definition for give it a whirl that I've seen is " Try something".)
