Either Or Lyrics

[Verse]
You said you loved me, couldn't bear to live without me
Yeah, baby, that's true
I never gave you a cause to doubt me
Always knew I could depend on you

[Pre-Chorus]
I ain't falling for your lies no more
That sounds like a heartache for sure
I won't take your cheating ways another minute
Well, it's only been a time or two
This love is done if you ain't completely in it
But baby, there's nobody like you

[Chorus]
You either stay or either you go
It's an either-or situation

[Verse]
Either shape it up or pack it up and go now
Oh, baby, you know that I'm trying
Turnabout's fair play, thought you ought to know it
Come on, baby, please don't eat me alive
I'm giving you fair warning, baby, and I mean what I say

[Pre-Chorus]
It's either-or and that's the ultimatum
Now, baby, let's just start all over again
Mistakes were made, and you're the one that made us
Sometimes you got to do some losing to win
[Chorus]
It's me or them, you take your choice
It's an either-or situation

[Verse]
You know I love you, so let's try to make it better (try to make it better)
Whatever we gotta do
You make the rules, babe, I'll follow to the letter
Come on, take me to school, woo!

[Bridge]
It's either-or, that's the ultimatum (take me to school)
That's how it's gonna be, huh? Come on
Mistakes were made, hey, I ain't the one who made 'em
Well, I ain't gonna do it no more, baby, I promise

[Pre-Chorus]
I won't take your cheating ways another minute
It's only been a time or two (it's only been a time or two)
This love is done if it ain't completely in it
Now, baby, I'm all in it for you

[Chorus]
You either stay or either you go (either you go)
I can never leave you
It's me or them, baby, you make the choice
This isn't either-or
Either-or, either-or, woo!
[Bridge]
Na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
Please give me one more chance
Na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
I'll give you one last chance
I think I deserve it
Na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
It's your choice
It's either-or
Either-or

[Outro]
And this time, I really mean it
I love you, baby

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
