"Either Way" lyrics

You were almost kind, you were almost true
Don't let me see that other side of you
You have learned in time that you must be cruel
I'll have to wait to get the best of you

Poison in everything you say
Don't you, don't you
Wonder what difference does it make
Either way?

You were almost kind, you were almost true
Why give away that other side of you
Happens every time, so it must be true
Step on a kid, he'll grow up hating you

Poison in everything you say
Don't you, don't you
Wonder what difference does it make
Either way?

Were you ever kind? Were you always cruel?
Who's ever seen that other side of you?
(Either way)
Happened every time. So, it must be true
Where did you learn it's either him or you?

You were almost kind, you were almost true
Don't let me see that other side of you
You have learned in time that you must be cruel
I'll have to wait to get the best of you

Poison in everything you say
Don't you, don't you
Wonder what difference does it make
Either way?

Either way
