[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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?

[Chorus]
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 got to set me free
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 got to set me free

[Verse 2]
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

[Bridge 1]
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 tour cake and eat it too

[Chorus]
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 got to set me free

[Bridge 2]
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

[Interlude]
You gonna mess around?
Hmm, 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!

[Chorus]
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 got to set me free

[Post-Chorus]
You can only have (One or the other)
You got to get it right
Said ya can't have your cake and eat it too
You can only have (One or the other)
You got to get it right
Said ya can't have your cake and eat it too
You can only have (One or the other)
You got to get it right
Said ya can't have your cake and eat it too

[Chorus]
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 got to set me free
You can only have (One or the other)
You got to get it right
Said ya can't have your cake and eat it too
You can only have (One or the other)
You got to get it right
Said ya can't have your cake and eat it too
