X or Y, do or die
Pain and joy, it's a girl or a boy
Friend or foe, you'll never know
But it's no lie that it's X or Y

If it's X, a gal is next
But if it's Y, you get a guy
If it's pink or blue, it all comes from you
So you don't have to try because it's X or Y

X or Y, mama's boy, might be her toy
Daddy's girl may rock his world
It's all down to dumb luck, is it doll or a truck?
No, you don't have to cry because it's X or Y

Woman, man, that's the plan
You can't deny that it's X or Y
And I feel like fun but some work's been done
It's not just sex, it's Y or X

X or Y

[Incomprehensible]
You get so stressed but you feel best
I may be cursed but what comes first
Is the girl or the guy, that's right, it's X or Y

Now you can't see but it will be
But if you look, you may get shook
I don't need to shake, I'll have no mistake
The deed is done, you got a daughter or a son

X or Y, do or die
Pain and joy, it's a girl or a boy
Friend or foe, no, you'll never know
But it's no lie that it's X or Y

X or Y, do or die
Pain and joy, it's a girl or a boy
Friend or foe, you'll never know
