Lyrics One Day - Natasha

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.»
