Verse One: Luther Vandross
Could've died when I found out we couldn't live together peacefully {oh} That's when it started and we nearly parted {uh huh} Well I was hoping not to see that day We started getting in each other's way {ohh} Maybe it's better, we don't live together
Things got strange {uh huh}, my space to chill became half the size {yeah} You became, someone I didn't even recognise {what}
Chorus: Luther
What's the matter now? {y'know} What you talkin' bout? If it ain't one thing, it's another {that's right} If it ain't one thing, it's the other {whatever} Why you gotta put me down? What you complaining about? If it ain't one thing, it's the other If it ain't one thing, it's another {Dutty}
Oooh, ooh {what}. Oooh, oooh, ooh - I remember {And I was like that when you left me}
Verse Two: Luther
I remember when, I got a yacht for a dinner cruise {oh} The way you treated everyone was rude {uh huh} And I don't believe ya, you're such a diva {that's right, haha} I told the waitress we wanted wine {uh huh} You got upset because the girl was fine {ohh} You're complicated {y'know}, but somehow we make it
I get tired {uh huh}, from all I have to do to keep you satisfied {woo} Get no sleep {uh huh}, you call me in the middle of the night and weep
Chorus: Luther
What's the matter now? {what} What you cryin' bout? If it ain't one thing, it's another If it ain't one thing, it's the other {that's right} Why you gotta fuss and shout? {what?} What you screaming about? {y'know} If it ain't one thing, it's the other If it ain't one thing, it's another
Bridge: Luther
I guess I can't see the wool through you're eyes {yes, uh} (Pretty little brown eyes) {yes} I guess I don't understand what goes on, goes on, goes on {LV, baby!} in your mind

Now Luther what you mean if it ain't one thing, then it's another Look brother, we took a vow to cherish each other And I, been through the storm But you keep disrespecting and ignoring me I swear, won't be long til I'm gone But, ain't nothing worse than a black woman scorned I move with integrity, it's hard being a celebrity And loving you is like a Gift and a Curse You ain't gotta think twice, 'cause I'm leaving you first (uh huh)
Chorus: Luther
What's the matter now (now) What you talkin' bout? 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 (down) What you fussing about? If it ain't one thing, it's the other If it ain't one thing, it's another
Chorus: Luther
What's the matter now (now) What you talkin' bout? If it ain't one thing, it's another If it ain't one thing, it's the other Hey girl, why you gotta scream and shout (shout) What you complaining about? If it ain't one thing, it's the other (shut up) If it ain't one thing, it's another {Dutty, yes}

I must admit that at times I talk slick But I'm the woman of this house, my best defence is my mouth And, I give you good love, I cook you dinner (uhh) And like Halle and Denzel, your wife is a winner So on, you chose your bed so sleep in it I should've known from day one, but I was so deep in it, so
