If It Ain't One Thing

Artist: Luther Vandross
Album:Dance With My Father

This page features the R&B music lyrics to the song If It Ain't One Thing.

I coulda died when I found out we
Couldn't live together peacefully
That's when it started and we nearly parted
Well, I was hoping not to see the day
We started getting in each other's way
Maybe it's better we don't live together
Things got strange
My space to chill became half the size
You became someone I didn't even recognize

[Chorus]
What's the matter now
What are you talking about
If it ain't one thing, it's another
If it ain't one thing, it's the other
Why you gotta put me down
What are you complaining about
If it ain't one thing, it's the other
If it ain't one thing, it's another

I got a yacht for a dinner cruise
The way you treated everyone was rude
I don't believe ya, you're such a diva
I told the waitress we wanted wine
You got upset because the girl was fine
You're complicated, but somehow we make it
I get tired
From all I have to do to keep you satisfied
Get no sleep
You call me in the middle of the night and weep

[Chorus]
What's the matter now
What are you crying about
If it ain't one thing, it's another
If it ain't one thing, it's the other
Why you gotta fuss and shout
What are you screaming about
If it ain't one thing, it's the other
If it ain't one thing, it's another

I guess I can't see the world through your eyes
Pretty little brown eyes
Guess I don't understand
What goes on, goes on, goes on in your mind

[Foxy Brown]
Now luther whatchu mean if it aint one thing its another
Look brother, we took a vow to cherish each other
I been through the storm but you keep disrespectin
and ignorin me I swear it won't be long til I'm gone
Ain't nothin worse than a black woman's scorn
I move with integrity it's hard bein a celebrity
And lovin you was like a gift and a curse
You aint gotta think twice cuz I'm leaving you first

[Chorus]
What's the matter now
What are you talking about
If it ain't one thing, it's another
If it ain't one thing, it's the other
Why you gotta put me down
What are you complaining about
If it ain't one thing, it's the other
If it ain't one thing, it's another

[Chorus]
What's the matter now
What are you crying about
If it ain't one thing, it's another
If it ain't one thing, it's the other
Why you gotta fuss and shout
What are you screaming about
If it ain't one thing, it's the other
If it ain't one thing, it's another

[Foxy]
I must admit that at times I talk slick
But I'm the woman of this house, my best defense is my mouth
I give you good love and I cook your dinner
And like Halle and Denzel your wife is the winner
You chose your bed so sleep in it
I shoulda known from day one but I was so deep in it
So what I' msayin is going in one ear and out the other
This aint your house get the hell out
And leave the keys and the drop top Z behind
You can't dis me and expect to keep whats mine
So keep thinkin you can use and abuse me
While you realize I'm gone taking my ish with me
