[Intro]
Oh-oh
It's just one of dem days when I wanna be all alone
It's just one of dem days when I gotta be all alone
It's just one of dem days, don't take it personal

[Verse 1]
I wanna take some time out to think things through
I know it always feels like I'm doing you wrong
But I'm so in love with you
So understand that I'm only in love
You're the only one I need
So have no thought that I want to leave
And baby, trust me please

[Chorus]
Don't take it personal
Take the bitter with the sweet
Easy come, easy go (Yeah)
Don't take it personal
Take the bitter with the sweet
'Cause good things come to an end
Don't take it personal
Baby, baby, baby, baby
Don't take it personal

[Verse 2]
I sit and I think about every thing we do
And I find myself in misery and that ain't cool
Hey now, I really wanna be with you the whole way through
But the way you make me feel inside keeps me confused
As I swing back mood to mood, it's not because of you
I never want you to be insecure
So won't you understand that I'm only in love?
You're the only one I need
I'll be there for you when you need me, boy
So baby, don't you leave

[Chorus]
Don't take it personal
Take the bitter with the sweet
Easy come, easy go (Easy come, easy go, baby)
Don't take it personal (No)
Take the bitter with the sweet
'Cause good things come to an end
Don't take it personal
Baby, baby, baby, baby
Don't take it personal
Don't take it personal, yeah
Don't take it personal

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Don't take it personal (Just one of dem days a girl goes through)
Take the bitter with the sweet
Easy come, easy go (I don't wanna take it out on you)
Don't take it personal (Don't take it personal)
Take the bitter with the sweet
'Cause good things come to an end
(I wanna be all alone, you think I treat you wrong)
(Don't take it personal, baby) Don't take it personal
Take the (Personal, baby)
Easy come, easy go (Personal, baby, personal, baby)
Don't take it personal (Personal, baby, personal, baby)
Take the bitter with the sweet
Don't take it personal (Personal, baby, personal, baby)
