’Cause I knew you were trou ble when you walked in,

so shame on me now.

Flew me to pla ces I’ve nev er been,

till you put me down.

Oh, I knew you were trou ble when you walked in,

so shame on me now.

Flew me to pla ces I’ve nev er been,

till you put me down.

Oh,

now I’m ly ing on the cold, hard ground.

Oh

oh,

trou ble, trou ble, trou ble.

Oh

oh,

trou ble, trou ble, trou ble.
