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 (Oh, yeah), 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 (Oh, yeah), 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, keep on tellin' you, now; (Three is a crowd...)
She's always in my business and what she don't (allow...) Oh, yeah!

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 the woman would do anything (Oh, yeah) just to try to get rid of me;
She even went to the health department and told 'em that I had TB!

Now you see why two is a couple, keep on tellin' you, now, three is a crowd;
She's always in my business and what she don't allow...
Tell you why two (Two is a couple...) Oh, yessir! (Three is a crowd...)
She's always in my business and what she don't allow...

Tell you why two (Two is a couple...) Oh, hear me now! (Three is a crowd...)
She's always in my business and what she don't allow...
Now what I say now? Two is a couple, tryin' to tell you that (Three is a crowd...)
Just can't make it! Got to shake it! (She's always in my business and what she don't allow...)
