Lyrics Ike & Tina Turner – 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…)
