One Way or Another

Sometimes I hear stories about couples that get together while at various college campuses.

Sometimes I'm reminded just how thin and fragile the line between creepy and romantic is. Literally, that line is determined by your predisposition to the person making the creepy/romantic overtures is.

Sometimes I'm walking down the street, and this song comes on, and I'm struck by how much the catchiness and key change distract me from how, if this were the wrong guy, I would be so creeped out.

Okay, lets be real, there are some parts that are just creepy no matter who is singing this to me.

One way or another, I'm gonna find ya, I'm gonna getcha getcha getcha getcha, 
One way or another, I'm gonna win ya, I'm gonna getcha getcha getcha getcha,
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 will drive past your house
And if the lights are all out
I'll see who's around...

Let's go!

One way or another, I'm gonna find ya, I'm gonna getcha getcha getcha getcha
One way or another, I'm gonna win ya, I'll getcha, I'll getcha,
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

And if the lights are all out 
I'll follow your bus downtown
See who's hanging out...

One, two, three, four

(obligatory na na na na na's) (because really can we have a song without them?) (haha nope)

I wanna hold you, wanna hold you tight
I wanna hold you, wanna hold you tight
I wanna hold you, wanna hold you tight
Yeah, teenage kicks right through the night

I wanna hold you, wanna hold you tight
I wanna hold you, wanna hold you tight
I wanna hold you, wanna hold you tight
Yeah, teenage kicks all through the night

One way or another, I'm gonna see ya, I'm gonna meet ya, meet ya, meet ya, meet ya
One way or another, I'm gonna win ya, I'm gonna getcha getcha getcha getcha...

One way or another

Okay guys, like, seriously. Casual reminder that this song is really old and really creepy and catchy with a cool beat and a key change but yeah. Such a thin line.
