The Day You Take One (You Have To Take The Other) - The Miracles

I wanted a girl I was sure would be good to me

(Didn't want) No girl who could make me cry

I wanted a girl with a love that could satisfy

Didn’t want no sadness in love

All I wanted was gladness in love

But I fell in love with you and discovered

That the day you take one (Uh-huh)

You’re gonna have to take the other

Oh, I didn’t want no sleepless nights

I wanted a girl who would treat me right

Didn’t want no tossing and turning

I wanted a girl to keep the love light burning

Didn’t want the bad things in love

All I wanted was the glad things in love

But I fell in love with you and discovered

That the day you take one (Uh-huh)

You’re 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, uh

True love never runs smooth like we think it should

But true love can’t be beat, oh

Didn’t want no trouble and confusion

The love I wanted was only an illusion

I didn’t want to have to change none of my ways

I wanted to stay like I was all of my days

Didn’t want to make a sacrifice, uh

All I wanted was a girl that was nice

But I fell in love with you and discovered

That the day you take one (Uh huh)

You’re gonna have to take the other, oh oh

(Didn't want no)

Trouble and confusion

(All I wanted was)

A love that was an illusion

(Didn't want no)

Heartache and misery

(All I wanted was)

A girl to be good to me

(Didn't want no)

Girl …
