If It Ain’t One Thing (It’s Two)
by
Brad Ryder
Verse
1: Stood at the altar, all alone, dazed
and numb,
Sent
all the guests home with the deed left undone.
Stepped
outside into a blinding rain;
Ran
to catch a bus but I had no change.
It’s
what I always knew: if it ain’t one thing, it’s two. Mm mm.
Verse
2: Waited all day to get your "please
see me" call;
Listened
all night for any word at all.
Morning
came, I went to fetch my mail;
Slammed
a door too hard and broke a nail.
It’s
what I always knew: if it ain’t one thing, it’s two. Mm mm.
Chorus: Just when it
seems I might get a break,
Just when I think I’ve
taken all I can take,
My heart finds some new
ache.
Verse
3: Opened your letter with damp, trembling
hands;
Read
your excuses but still don’t understand.
Turned
to breakfast for my peace of mind;
Some
stale old wedding cake is all I can find.
I
guess I always knew: if it ain’t one thing, it’s two. Mm mm.
(Repeat
chorus)
Tag: And it’s true: if it ain’t one thing it’s
two ... hm mm.
