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

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

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 …
