One or the other
One or the other
One or the other
If it's gonna be her, you gotta set me freeIf you think you're gonna have the time
To make up your mind, you shouldn't even try
I'm tired of hearing all of your lines
Just tell me that you're mineYou know I'm better than she'll ever be
It's very clear to me, no more
I'll let you mess with me
But baby can't you seeYou can only have one or the other
Is it gonna be her or is it gonna be me?
You can only have one or the other
If it's gonna be her, you gotta set me freeYou can only have one or the other
Is it gonna be her or is it gonna be me?
You can only have one or the other
If it's gonna be her, you gotta set me freeLet me tell you that it hurts so bad
When you're the last to know, my friends told me so
My heart was always just for you
But now you want her tooYou see her, you try her, you're always on fire
But boy I've got news for you
You've taken advantage but baby you can't have
Your cake and eat it tooYou can only have one or the other
Is it gonna be her or is it gonna be me?
You can only have one or the other
If it's gonna be her, you gotta set me freeOne or the other, you can't get it right
You say I'm your lover but someone else is waiting
One or the other, I'm not gonna fight
This won't last forever so stop your hesitatingOne or the other, you can't get it right
You're so undercover you always think I'm playing
One or the other, you want me tonight
I'm not gonna play it boy, I'm not with itYou're gonna mess aroundSo you think you can have it all
One or the other
'Cause if you can play, so can I
One or the other, play
One or the otherYou can only have one or the other
Is it gonna be her or is it gonna be me?
You can only have one or the other
If it's gonna be her, you gotta set me freeOne or the other
You got to get it right
Said ya can't have
Your cake and eat it tooOne or the other
You got to get it right
Said ya can't have
Your cake and eat it tooOne or the other
One or the other
You got to get it right
Said ya can't have
Your cake and eat it tooOne or the other
You got to get it right
Said ya can't have
Your cake and eat it tooOne or the other
One or the other
One or the other
One or the other
