Album: The Letter

Beautiful Trouble

I walked away from you and ran right into a lamppost
And a cop came up and said,
"Are you alright, lady?"
And I said, "Yes, it was only that stroke of lightning"
But the cop didn't understand
And then I realized
That nobody else saw the lightning hurry by
And I wasn't sure whether I should laugh or cry
So I said to myself, "Honey, you're in trouble."
And I was
And I still am

I'm in trouble
Such beautiful trouble
And it's the most serious trouble I've had
And I'm glad

I have the most exciting heart palpitations
This situation
It's completely out of hand
And it's grand

One day he'd know me
And he wants to own me
I'm putting up a fight
And hoping I lose

My doctor made the right prediction
He said this wonderful affliction
Was simply that beautiful trouble
Called love

I try to be good
But's it's hard to see good
If love is blind
Buster hand me my cane
'Cause it's plain

I'm in the most delicious new kind of danger
This perfect stranger
Strike before the iron is hot
And why not

No longer am I bored
I'm on that high board
I took one look and I'm ready to leave

No time to leave and come again dear
I'm shoutin' "Here we go again, dear!"
I'm in that beautiful trouble
Called love
