Lyrics
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
I will drive past your house,
And if the lights are all down,
I'll see who's around
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! Ahhh...
And if the lights are all out,
I'll follow your bus downtown,
See who's hangin' 'round!
One way, or another, I'm gonna lose ya;
I'm gonna give you the slip!
A slip of the hip for another;
I'm gonna lose ya, I'm gonna trick ya!
I'll trick ya!
One way, or another, I'm gonna lose ya;
I'm gonna trick ya trick ya trick ya trick ya!
One way, or another, I'm gonna lose ya;
I'm gonna give you the slip!
I walked down the mall,
Stand over by the wall,
Where I can see it all,
Find out who ya call!
Lead you to the supermarket checkout
Some specials and rat food
Get lost in the crowd
One way, or another, I'm gonna get ya;
I'll get ya, I'll get ya get ya get ya get ya!! (Where I can see it all, find out who ya call)
One way, or another, I'm gonna get ya;
I'll get ya, I'll get ya get ya get ya get ya!! (Where I can see it all, find out who ya call)
One way, or another, I'm gonna get ya;
II'll get ya, I'll get ya get ya get ya get ya!! (Where I can see it all, find out who ya call)
One way, or another, I'm gonna get ya;
I'll get ya, I'll get ya get ya get ya get ya!! (Where I can see it all, find out who ya call)
One way, or another, I'm gonna get ya;
I'll getcha, I'll get ya get ya get ya get ya! (Where I can see it all, find out who ya call)
One way, or another, I'm gonna get ya;
I'll get ya, I'll get ya get ya get ya get ya! (Where I can see it all, find out who ya call)
One way, or another
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
I will drive past your house,
And if the lights are all down,
I'll see who's around
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! Ahhh...
And if the lights are all out,
I'll follow your bus downtown,
See who's hangin' 'round!
One way, or another, I'm gonna lose ya;
I'm gonna give you the slip!
A slip of the hip for another;
I'm gonna lose ya, I'm gonna trick ya!
I'll trick ya!
One way, or another, I'm gonna lose ya;
I'm gonna trick ya trick ya trick ya trick ya!
One way, or another, I'm gonna lose ya;
I'm gonna give you the slip!
I walked down the mall,

Get lost in the crowd
One way, or another, I'm gonna get ya;

One way, or another, I'm gonna get ya;
I'll get ya, I'll get ya get ya get ya get ya!! (Where I can see it all, find out who ya call)
One way, or another, I'm gonna get ya;
II'll get ya, I'll get ya get ya get ya get ya!! (Where I can see it all, find out who ya call)
One way, or another, I'm gonna get ya;
I'll get ya, I'll get ya get ya get ya get ya!! (Where I can see it all, find out who ya call)
One way, or another, I'm gonna get ya;
I'll getcha, I'll get ya get ya get ya get ya! (Where I can see it all, find out who ya call)
One way, or another, I'm gonna get ya;
I'll get ya, I'll get ya get ya get ya get ya! (Where I can see it all, find out who ya call)
One way, or another

Song Status
By 1978, Blondie were stars in Europe and Asia, but they didn't blow up in the U.S. until Parallel Lines, their hit-packed third album. "One Way or Another" was Harry's ode to obsessive lust, mixing the girl-group sound of the Ronettes with the punk attack of the Ramones.
