[Verse 1]

Listen to me brothers

Listen well

Brothers we got something to tell

You can't run around

Being a married man

You're not taking care of business very well

You've got to keep yourself together

If you dig on what you got

'Cause what you got can sho'nuff mean a lot

If you ain't taking care of business

This you must expect

Love gets slippery when it's wet

You know hanging loose can be outta sight

But hanging loose

No it just ain't right

You see slipping a tipping

Having fun ain't no good

Leaving homework undone

You've got keep your thing together

If you dig on what you've got

'Cause what you've got can sho'nuff mean a lot

If you ain't taking care of business

This you can expect

Love gets slippery when it's wet

If you ain't taking care of business

This you can expect

Love gets slippery when it's wet

Uh huh slippery, slippery

Love gets slippery when it's wet oh

It'll slip away yeah

Love gets slippery when it's wet ooooooh

Love gets slippery when it's wet

Slippery, slippery

Love gets slippery when it's wet

Don't let your love slip away

Love gets slippery when it's wet ow

Taking care of business

Love gets slippery when it's wet…
