Lyrics:

(c. williams / d. pain / p. abdul)


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


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


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

I'm not with it


One or the other

You got to get it right

Said ya can't have

Your cake and eat it too
