I got up this morning, tried to get off of work
I couldn't even find not one clean shirt
There was no hot water when I jumped in the shower
I know my boss is gonna dock me an hour
The older I get the more I discover
If it ain't one thing it's another
I got to the car, tried to get motivated
Now I'm stuck in the traffic, all I'm doing is waiting
The fool behind me keeps blowin' his horn
I got my top laid back and it's coming up a storm
The older I get the more I discover
If it ain't one thing it's another
Light bill, phone bill, water and gas
Pay day comes and it goes so fast
There's no way out and I'm telling you brother
If it ain't one thing it's another
I got to the job and I tried to explain
The boss said, "You won't have to do that again"
I called home just to tell her the news
She said, "Bye, bye, baby, I'm leaving you"
She took the kids and she's gone to her mother's
If it ain't one thing, it's another
Light bill, phone bill, water and gas
Pay day comes and it goes so fast
There's no way out and I'm telling you brother
If it ain't one thing it's another
If it ain't one thing it's another
