I did n't want no heartache
or misery I wanted a guy who sure would be good to me
I didn't want no guy who could make me cry
I wanted a guy with a love that could satisfy
I didn't want no sadness from love
All I want was gladness from love
But I fell for you and discovered
That the day you take one
You're gonna have to take the other,
oh yeah
I didn't want no sleepless nights
I wanted a guy who could treat me right
I didn't want no tossin' and turnin' I wanted
a guy to keep the love light burnin'
I didn't want the bad things in love
All I wanted was the glad things in love
But I fell for you and discovered
That's the day you take one
You're gonna have to take the other,
oh yeah
Mmm, a little bad comes along
with every good
You've got to take the
bitter with the sweet
True love never runs smooth
like we think it should
But true love can't be beat, no no
It can't be beat
Don't you know that I
Didn't want no trouble and confusion
The love I wanted was only an illusion
I didn't want to have to change my way
I want to stay like I was all of my days
Didn't want to make a sacrifice
All I wanted was to be treated nice
But I fell for you and discovered
That the day you take one
You're gonna have
to take the other
Oh yeah, you're gonna have
to take the other
Don't you know one's no good
without the other
You're gonna have to take the other
