[Verse 1]
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 turn on the news to the Third World War
Open 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

[Verse 2]
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
Well, I guess I've been bad or somethin'
Trouble waiting to happen
Trouble waiting to happen

[Chorus]
Trouble waiting to happen
Teardrops ready to start
Trouble waiting to happen
To my heart
[Verse 3]
This just ain't gon' 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
And so I'm gonna wait right here 'til then
Trouble waiting to happen
Trouble waiting to happen

[Chorus]
Trouble waiting to happen
Teardrops ready to fall
Trouble waiting to happen
To us all

[Outro]
Trouble waiting to happen
Trouble waiting to happen
Huh, huh
Trouble waiting to happen
Trouble waiting to happen
