There’s been some changes in my time
But this one’s playing games with my mind
Stopped in my tracks
No thought of looking back
The lady’s got me tied up
But I’ve already made my mind up
One way or another she’ll be mine

It wasn’t anything I could define
None of those ringing bells giving me a sign
I just took a look
But I was on the hook
The lady’s got me tied up
Don’t know how it’s gonna wind up
One way or another gonna be all right

I’m beginning to think that a forever kind of love
Is the kind of love I’ll look for forever
But still I’ll love and love again
One way or another I will find my friend

I knew some day my heart would lead my head
Beyond the path my chosen life had led
I’d been so sure
But where is the cure
The lady’s got me real good
But you can’t say what I should do
One way or another it’s all over now

One way or another
