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 IV
   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 'til then
   Trouble waiting to happen
   Trouble waiting to happen
  
   Trouble waiting to happen
   Teardrops ready to start
   Trouble waiting to happen to us all
