I Knew You Were Trouble

You can bet your life on it

This couldn't happen to anybody else

I knew you were trouble

I knew you were trouble

When you walked in the night

I nearly died

I should've hit the ground running

Go anywhere else

I knew you were trouble

But I had to find out for myself

I shook your hand and gave you a beer

Well it's funny how these things start

Slid in between you and your date

Even though he's a mate of mine

He just shrugged and stepped aside

You can bet your life on it

This couldn't happen anywhere else

I knew I was in trouble

I knew I was in trouble

When you came backstage

Oh God, it feel so contrived

I should've hit the ground running

Go anywhere else

I knew you were trouble

But I had to find out for myself

You claimed that you were givin' us up

Don't need any more tunes about you

But honey, I'm no Marvin Gaye

Or even Barry White, or Prince

I just need a little more time

It must be some kind of a joke

'Cause we've been laughing

Laughing, laughing for hours

It feels so easy, but it's so inconvenient

Well I guess it's out of our hands

You can bet your life on it

This couldn't happen to anybody else

We knew we were in trouble

We knew we were in trouble

When you led me down the steps

I followed you home

But I should've hit the ground running

Go anywhere else

I knew you were trouble

But I had to find out for myself

I had to find out for myself

I had to find out for myself

I had to find out for myself
