Lyrics
Listen girl and listen good
You ain't doing like you should
Let's get one thing understood
It's my way or the highway
When I say for you to jump
I expect to hear the thump
No girl plays me for a chump
It's my way or the highway
I'm the one who's in control
Of your body and your soul
Time to get your act in shape
Don't you know there's no escape
You better put this down on tape
It's my way or the highway
You hear what I'm saying
(Oh Memphis please, have a heart)
When I say get on the stick
(No, I don't wanna do this)
Better do it mess less quick
(Oh Memphis please, don't make me do this)
Just remember I'm your trick
(Jesus, get me through this)
It's my way or the highway
I will tell you when to quit
('Bout all this cat and mouse you're playing)
When to stand and when to sit
(I know the price that I'll be paying)
When to come and when to split
(Don't just stand there saying)
It's my way or the highway
When it comes to you and me
We ain't no democracy
Better get your ass in too
'Cause there's one thing we both know
You ain't got no place to go
It's my way or the highway
My way
Or the highway
