Trouble is a Friend

By : Lenka

Trouble will find you no mater where you go, oh oh

No Matter if you’re fast no matter if you’re slow, oh oh

The eye of the storm and the cry in the morn, oh oh

Your fine for a while but then start to loose control

He’s there in the dark

He’s there in my heart

He waits in the winds

He’s gotta play a part

Trouble is a friend

Yeah trouble is a friend of mine. oh oh

Trouble is a friend but trouble is a foe, oh oh

And no matter what I feed him he always seems to grow, oh oh

He sees what I see and he knows what I know, oh oh

So don’t forget as you ease on down the road

So don’t be alarmed if he takes you by the arm

I won’t let him win, but I’m a sucker for his charm

Trouble is a friend

Yeah trouble is a friend of mine, oh oh

Oh how I hate the way he makes me feel

And how I try to make him leave, I try

Oh Oh I try
