two is a couple

i just like to be with my man all alone

but livin' here with his mother

you see

we just can't get along

now you see why two is a couple

tryin' to tell you that-a three is a crowd

she's always in my business and what she don't allow

now i get up early in the morning

to serve him breakfast in bed

but before i can make it to the kitchen

she's serving him ham

toast

and eggs

now you see why two is a couple

tryin' to tell you that-a three is a crowd

she's always in our business and what she don't allow

now i wash his dirty clothes

and i'll bleach 'em 'til they're white and clean

but as soon as i turn my back

she's puttin' dirt in the drying machine

now you see why two is a couple
