If It Ain't One Thing (It's You)
Alan Jackson · Original Album Classics [2011]
Well, I guess it's just not my day
The wind blew my morning paper away
Then I cut my toe on a sliver of glass
From the stormdoor you broke when you left here so fast.
If it ain't one thing it's you
If you've heard that I'm going crazy, it's true
The wheels seem to fall off whatever I do
If it ain't one thing, it's you.
Well, I rented that movie you hate
But that old VCR just chewed up the tape
Then I went to the freezer thought I'd cook me a steak
All I found was that old piece of our wedding cake.
If it ain't one thing, it's you
If you've heard that I'm going crazy, it's true
The wheels seem to fall off whatever I do
If it ain't one thing, it's you.
Well, I never knew that I needed you so
But now that I've lost you, I can't let you go.
If it ain't one thing oh it's you
If you've heard that I'm going crazy, it's true
The wheels seem to fall off whatever I do
If it ain't one thing, it's you.
Oh, if it ain't one thing, it's you...
