One Way or Another (Teenage Kicks) Lyrics

[Verse: Harry, Zayn]
One way or another, I'm gonna find ya
I'm gonna get ya, get ya, get ya, get ya
One way or another, I'm gonna win ya
I'm gonna get ya, get ya, get ya, get ya
One way or another I'm gonna see ya
I'm gonna meet ya, meet ya, meet ya, meet ya
One day, maybe next week
I'm gonna meet ya, I'm gonna meet ya, I'll meet ya

[Chorus: Niall, All, Louis]
I will drive past your house (Hey!)
And if the lights are all down (Hey!)
I'll see who's around (Let's go!)

[Verse: Liam, Louis]
One way or another, I'm gonna find ya
I'm gonna get ya, get ya, get ya, get ya
One way or another, I'm gonna win ya
I'll get ya, I'll get ya
One way or another, I'm gonna see ya
I'm gonna meet ya, meet ya, meet ya, meet ya
One day, maybe next week
I'm gonna meet ya, I'll meet ya

[Chorus: Zayn, All, Louis]
And if the lights are all down (Hey!)
I'll follow your bus downtown (Hey!)
See who's hangin' out (One, two, three, four!)

[Bridge: All, Louis, Harry, Niall]
