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...)
