One Or The Other

(album: Forever Your Girl - 1988)

If 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 mine

You 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 see

[2x]
You 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 free

Let 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 too

You 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 too

You 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 free

One 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 hesitating

One 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
No, I'm not with it

You gonna mess around?
Hm, not on my time
So, you think you can have it all?
One or the other
Uh-uh, 'cause if you can play, so can I
Ben, play!

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 free

You can only have one or the other
You got to get it right
Said you can't have your cake and eat it too
You can only have one or the other
You got to get it right
Said you can't have your cake and eat it too

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 free

You can only have one or the other
You got to get it right
Said you can't have your cake and eat it too
You can only have one or the other
You got to get it right
Said you can't have your cake and eat it too
