The Day You Take One (You Have to Take the Other) Songtext
von The Marvelettes

(Didn′t want no heartache and misery)
I wanted a guy, I was sure would be good to me (no, no, no)
(Didn't want no guy, who could make me cry)
I wanted a guy with a love that could satisfy

All I wanted was gladness from love
Didn′t want no sadness from love (no, no, no)
But I fell for you and discovered
That the day you take one
Then you gonna have to take the other
Ooh (no, no, no)

(Didn't want no sleepless night)
I wanted a guy who would treat me right (no, no, no)
(Didn't want no tossin′ and turnin′)
I wanted a guy to keep the lovelight burnin'


All I wanted was glad things in love
Didn′t want the bad things in love (no, no, no)
But I fell for you and discovered
That the day you take one
You gonna have to take the other
(Hey hey hey, hey hey hey)
(Hey hey hey, hey hey hey)
(Hey hey hey)

A little bad comes along with every good
You've got to take the bitter with the sweet
To love never runs smooth
Like we think it should
But true love can′t be beat, ooh (no, no, no)

(Didn't want no trouble and confusion)
The love I wanted was only an illusion (no, no, no)
(Didn′t wanna have to change my way)
I wanted to stay like I was all my days

All I wanted was to be treated nice
Didn't want to make the sacrifice (no, no, no)
But I fell for you and discovered
That the day you take one
You gonna have to take the other
Ooh yeah (no, no, no)


(Didn't want no) heartaches and misery
(All I wanted was) a guy to be good to me (no, no, no)
(Didn′t want no) guy who could make me cry
(All I wanted was) love that could satisfy (no, no, no)
(Didn′t want no) tossin' and turnin′
(All I wanted was) lovelight burnin' (no, no, no)
