[Intro: Avant & Olivia]

It's a new day, yeah

Uh-huh

Ooh, ooh, hoo, oh

Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-oh-ooh

[Verse 1: Olivia & Avant]

Remember I was sixteen with a mind of my own

You were seventeen and you thought you was grown

I found my thrills when we went up a hill

And you used to feel me, my body would get chills

I picked you up in my '89 Chevy

I brought you candy and popcorn at the movies

I had it made when I, got paid

And we, go roller skate

But everything has changed, wait

[Chorus: Avant & Olivia]

Seems to be to me

Something's wrong with this household

Seems to be to me

You're always trying to take control

Seems to be to me

Something's wrong with the kissing

Seems to be to me

Something is missing

Seems to be to me

Something's wrong with the making love

Seems to be to me

You forgot what love was

Seems to be to me

Something's wrong with the kissing

Seems to be to me

Something is missing

He think I don't know, he think I don't know

[Verse 2: Avant, Olivia, Both]

We had fun that year that you turned twenty-one

You were my world 'cause you brought me my baby girl

She's so fine and she's, she's all mine

And I promised to love you un—, until the end of time

That's okay 'cause I felt the same way

But you're running game and that's when everything changed

The phone calls and your two ways

And your attitude

You watched too many pimp tapes

After all of the things that we've been through

I'm still willing to take care of you

Girl, we've been together for so long (Yes, we have)

And I just wanna know, what's going on?

(What's going on? Yeah)

[Chorus: Avant & Olivia]

Seems to be to me

Something's wrong with this household

Seems to be to me

You're always trying to take control

(Is it something I've done wrong?)

Seems to be to me

Something's wrong with the kissing

Seems to be to me

Something is missing (Let me know)

Seems to be to me

Something's wrong with the making love

(Yes, it seems to be to me, you're not loving me)

Seems to be to me

You forgot what love was (What did I do?)

Seems to be to me

Something's wrong with the kissing

(And you know it, and you know it, you know)

Seems to be to me

Something is missing (Let me know)

[Bridge: Avant & Olivia]

What happened to kissing and hugging

Instead of all that cussing and fussing?

I wanna know right now

What you gotta say?

What happened to respecting me?

Instead of spending time in the street?

I don't need to know; in fact, I gotta go

Wait, baby, let me plead my case

I got a few more things to say

Shit is making me mad

Girl, what I do so bad?

What about

That girl who you sending money to down the way?

What about

You been cheating on me, she had your baby

What about

The lies and the deceit I face day to day?

What about

I don't feel the way I used to, I lost my faith in you

[Chorus: Avant & Olivia]

Seems to be to me

Something's wrong with this household

(Tell me why) (You know it)

Seems to be to me

You're always trying to take control

(Why does it have to be this way?)

(I'm cleaning out your closet)

Seems to be to me

Something's wrong with the kissing

(No, no) (Right now) (Oh)

Seems to be to me

Something is missing

(Don't throw my clothes away) (It's too late)

Seems to be to me

Something's wrong with the making love

(It's cold outside) (Just weather the storm)

Seems to be to me

You forgot what love was

(And the rain is falling down on me)

(Well, my love is gone)

Seems to be to me

Something's wrong with the kissing (Away, away)

Seems to be to me

Something is missing

(Can you please help me?)

[Outro: Avant & Olivia]

Ooh, ooh, hoo, oh

Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-oh-ooh
