[Verse 1]
Here you come again and you call yourself my friend
But I know why you're here, the girl wants to know how I feel
Well, tell her that I'm happy, this is what I want you to say
Just tell her I won't have it, no no no no no, any other way
I wouldn't have it any other way
[Verse 2]
The people have been talking ever since we've been apart
And every time I pass by I hear them whispering
They say, "There he goes with a broken heart"
But when she ask about me, this is what I want you say
Tell her I wouldn't have it, no no no no no, any other way
Ooh I can't have it any other way now baby
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Verse 3]
That's all I gotta say, my friend, we better say goodbye
I think you'd better go right now or you might see me cry
But when you see my baby, this is what I want you to say
Just ell her I wouldn't have it, no no no no no, any other way
[Outro]
I can't have it any other way, baby
I may have to cry sometimes
But I've got too much cryin', I won't have it any other way
I may have to be talked about sometimes
My cryin' won't let me have it any other way
