One Day - Natasha

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.»
