Bottom Line
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Na, na na na na na
Na, na na na na na na
Na, na na na... (repeat)
You say you're steady, 'n you're committed
But last night you weren't around when I needed you
You keep talkin', but I need action
This divided affection just won't do...
I hate to give you an ultimatum
But when I'm in love, I want it all the way...oh
Oh, that's the bottom line
If you really wanna keep my love
Can't be givin' up what's mine...(oh oh oh)
Oh, that's the bottom line
I can't settle for a part-time thing
Need your lovin' all the time...
No imitations, give me the real thing
Sugar-coated promises are not enough for me,
'Cause if you're fakin', don't be mistaken
I'll be out the door, before the count of three...
I hate to sound uncomprimising
But I'm never gonna play nobody's fool...
Oh, that's the bottom line
If you really wanna keep my love
Can't be givin' up what's mine...(oh oh oh)
Oh, that's the bottom line
I can't settle for a part-time thing
Need your lovin' all the time...
Na, na na na na na
Na, na na na na na na
Na, na na na... (repeat)
