One way or the other
It's just the one way or the other
Now listen mister, you listen good
You're not behaving as well as you should
Your selfish ways, they're all very fine
But you've gotten just well to chew the line
I was crazy not to have seen
You only want a good time And you're
leaving all the dirty work up Tommy
Now it's a one way or the other Oh,
it's just the one way or the other
I know I was giving,
giving,
giving You're the one who's taking,
taking,
taking
You bend the truth this way and that
You come to stories out of a top hat
You think the world revolves around you
You don't see anyone else's point of view
Now the laws of nature say You see the wrongs that you do
Well, they're going to come back to you someday
Now it's a one way or the other Oh,
it's just the one way or the other
I know I was giving,
giving,
giving You're the one who's taking,
taking,
taking
Now it's a one way or the other Oh,
it's just the one way or the other I know I was giving,
giving,
giving
You're the one who's taking, taking, taking
Someday you may discover there's a price you have
to pay Now someday you may regret a thing or two
You'll get what's coming to you
It's just the one way, love
It's just the one way or the other
It's the one way or the other Oh,
it's just the one way or the other
I know I was giving,
giving,
giving You're the one who's taking,
taking,
taking
You're the one who's taking, taking, taking
