One Way or Another 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' ah
And if the lights are all out I'll follow your bus downtown
See who's hangin' out
One way or another, I'm gonna lose ya'
I'm gonna give you the slip
A slip of the lip or 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'll walk 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
Stalking before stalking was fashionable
Bloody brilliant - a classic! I was expecting zillions of comments on a legendary song such as this!
This song is cool but I love 99999 x9999 times better the cover by Face to Face.
originals are always better. yay stalkers !
this song scares me. it's probably the ultimate stalker song.
@Just_Some_Asian It was acceptable because so many guys, myself included, would love to be the obsession of Debbie Harry. ; )

At the time, much like sexual harrassment, stalking was not on the radar screen. Someone wanting to meet a hot looking guy or girl was...and still is. This was/is not a sinister song. It's an upbeat song someone would sing when he's lusting after someone and wants to be a part of her life.
@TurnMeOn Yes, this song is about stalking. Debbie Harry, who wrote the lyrics, said so herself. The song was inspired by real events. She told Entertainment Weekly: "I was actually stalked by a nutjob, so it came out of a not-so-friendly personal event. I tried to inject a little levity into it to make it more lighthearted. It was a survival mechanism." So the upbeat catchiness of the song was was a bit of irony used to provide contrast and balance to the song's sinister undertones.

Mmmm, Baileys
Gotta love stalkers ;).
Although Blondie is one of my favorite bands, I think this is probably the second greatest stalker song. Number one being Every Breath You Take by the Police. This song is definitely more straight forward about it though.
yer both songs rule
