Once upon a time, a few mistakes ago
I was in your sights, you got me alone
You found me, you found me, you found me-e-e-e-e
I guess you didn't care, and I guess liked that
And when I fell hard, you took a step back
Without me, without me, without me-e-e-e-e

And he's long gone, when he's next to me and I
Realize the blame is on me

'Cause I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now-ow
Flew me to places I'd never been
Till you put me down, oh
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now-ow
Flew me to places I'd never been
Now I'm lyin' on the cold hard ground!
Aahh oohh, trouble, trouble, trouble
Aahh oohh, trouble, trouble, trouble

No apologies, he'll never see you cry
Pretends he doesn't know, that he's the reason why
You're drowning, you're drowning, you're drowni-i-i-i-ing
And I heard you moved on, from whispers on the street
A new notch in your belt, is all I'll ever be
And now I see, now I see, now I see-e-e-e-ee

He was long gone, when he met me
And I realize, the joke is on me, yeah

I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now-ow
Flew me to places I'd never been
Till you put me down, oh
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now-ow
Flew me to places I'd never been
Now I'm lyin' on the cold hard ground!
Aahh oohh, trouble, trouble, trouble
Aahh oohh, trouble, trouble, trouble

And the saddest fear, comes creepin' in
That you never loved me or her,
Or anyone, or anything, yeah yeah

I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now-ow
Flew me to places I'd never been (never been)
Till you put me down, oh
I knew you were trouble when you walked in (you were right there)
So shame on me now-ow
Flew me to places I'd never been
Now I'm lyin' on the cold hard ground!
Aahh oohh, trouble, trouble, trouble
Aahh oohh, trouble, trouble, trouble

I knew you were trouble when you walked in
Trouble, trouble, trouble
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
trouble, trouble, trouble
