[Intro: Avant & Olivia]
It's a new day, yeah
Uh-huh
Ooh, ooh, hoo, oh
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-oh-ooh
[Verse 1: Olivia & Avant]
Remember I was sixteen with a mind of my own
You were seventeen and you thought you was grown
I found my thrills when we went up a hill
And you used to feel me, my body would get chills
I picked you up in my '89 Chevy
I brought you candy and popcorn at the movies
I had it made when I, got paid
And we, go roller skate
But everything has changed, wait
[Chorus: Avant & Olivia]
Seems to be to me
Something's wrong with this household
Seems to be to me
You're always trying to take control
Seems to be to me
Something's wrong with the kissing
Seems to be to me
Something is missing
Seems to be to me
Something's wrong with the making love
Seems to be to me
You forgot what love was
Seems to be to me
Something's wrong with the kissing
Seems to be to me
Something is missing
He think I don't know, he think I don't know
[Verse 2: Avant, Olivia, Both]
We had fun that year that you turned twenty-one
You were my world 'cause you brought me my baby girl
She's so fine and she's, she's all mine
And I promised to love you un—, until the end of time
That's okay 'cause I felt the same way
But you're running game and that's when everything changed
The phone calls and your two ways
And your attitude
You watched too many pimp tapes
After all of the things that we've been through
I'm still willing to take care of you
Girl, we've been together for so long (Yes, we have)
And I just wanna know, what's going on?
(What's going on? Yeah)
[Chorus: Avant & Olivia]
Seems to be to me
Something's wrong with this household
Seems to be to me
You're always trying to take control
(Is it something I've done wrong?)
Seems to be to me
Something's wrong with the kissing
Seems to be to me
Something is missing (Let me know)
Seems to be to me
Something's wrong with the making love
(Yes, it seems to be to me, you're not loving me)
Seems to be to me
You forgot what love was (What did I do?)
Seems to be to me
Something's wrong with the kissing
(And you know it, and you know it, you know)
Seems to be to me
Something is missing (Let me know)
[Bridge: Avant & Olivia]
What happened to kissing and hugging
Instead of all that cussing and fussing?
I wanna know right now
What you gotta say?
What happened to respecting me?
Instead of spending time in the street?
I don't need to know; in fact, I gotta go
Wait, baby, let me plead my case
I got a few more things to say
Shit is making me mad
Girl, what I do so bad?
What about
That girl who you sending money to down the way?
What about
You been cheating on me, she had your baby
What about
The lies and the deceit I face day to day?
What about
I don't feel the way I used to, I lost my faith in you
[Chorus: Avant & Olivia]
Seems to be to me
Something's wrong with this household
(Tell me why) (You know it)
Seems to be to me
You're always trying to take control
(Why does it have to be this way?)
(I'm cleaning out your closet)
Seems to be to me
Something's wrong with the kissing
(No, no) (Right now) (Oh)
Seems to be to me
Something is missing
(Don't throw my clothes away) (It's too late)
Seems to be to me
Something's wrong with the making love
(It's cold outside) (Just weather the storm)
Seems to be to me
You forgot what love was
(And the rain is falling down on me)
(Well, my love is gone)
Seems to be to me
Something's wrong with the kissing (Away, away)
Seems to be to me
Something is missing
(Can you please help me?)
