I woke up this morning, and I fell out of bed Trouble waiting to happen Should've quit while I was ahead Trouble waiting to happen I turned on the news to the Third World War Opened up the paper to World War Four Just when I thought it was safe to be bored Trouble waiting to happen Trouble waiting to happen The mailman brought me the Rolling Stone Trouble waiting to happen It said I was living at home alone Trouble waiting to happen I read things I didn't know I'd done It sounded like a lot of fun I guess I've been bad or something Trouble waiting to happen Trouble waiting to happen Trouble waiting to happen Teardrops ready to start Trouble waiting to happen to my heart This just ain't gonna be my day Trouble waiting to happen Things just ain't gonna go my way Trouble waiting to happen My day was over by a quarter to ten I climbed right back into bed again I'd write this down if I could hold a pen I might get better, but I don't know when So I'm gonna wait right here till then Trouble waiting to happen Trouble waiting to happen Trouble waiting to happen Teardrops ready to start Trouble waiting to happen to us all
