One Day

This love affair we had for the summer Things ain't the same way like when we start Because of your neglectful behaviour The time has come now for we to part... ah-ah You shoulda never let the ways of evil Dominate your soul and rule your mind You must always remember when people treat you gentle You don't treat them unkind, boy... One day, ah tell you, one day, One day you're going to crawl One day, ah tell you, one day, One day you're going to fall One day you're going to cry "My God, the well run dry!" You took me for granted, now we are parted Like the old people say, "You go pay for it one day." You haunted now like a fish out of water Broken to tief, you ain't have a dime The dollar only work out to a Yankee quarter Because you never learn to be thrifty at no time... ay-ay There was a time when money was no problem You had no reason to neglect me so You listen to your crooked partners and then Spend, spend, spend, spend Easy come, easy go, boy... One day, ah tell you, one day, One day you going to crawl One day, ah tell you, one day, One day you going to fall One day when all is lost through no fault of yours, of course You will remember I tried to warn you But like the old people say, "You go pay for it one day." I give you my undivided attention Anytime you call, I never say Nay... ay-ay On top of that I give you so much affection I stood beside you every step of the way... ah-ah If anyone at all had told me that you Would ever be so mean as now I see I woulda tell them straight and plain, "That ain't true. No, not my dou-dou." but now they laughing at me. Boy, one day, ah tell you, one day, One day you going to crawl One day, ah tell you, one day, One day you going to fall One day when love is gone and you're left there all alone The evil that you do comes back to haunt you Like the old people say, "You have to pay for it one day." In the beginning you were a treasure I couldn't find no fault with you at all Now you jealous, wicked and spiteful as ever Ah hope you see the writing on the wall... ah-ah You better learn to practice what you preaching If you want to be held in high esteem Honesty and truth --------- teaching Put more interest in and forget your evil scheme. So, one day, ah tell you, one day... oy-oy-oy One day you going to crawl Boy, one day, ah tell you, one day, One day you going to fall One day you're going to find you can't get me off your mind That's when you'll wake up, too late to make up Like the old people say, "You have to pay for it one day."
