Trouble In Paradise

You do the drying, i'll do the dishes

Who'll do the crying when all the wishes don't come true

You do the washing, i'll do the folding

Whose heart is breaking

When whose arms are holding someone new

Sittin' on a peaceful lake sunnin'

Didn't hear the roar of the waterfall coming

When it's all a storybook story

When it's all so easy and nice

Here comes trouble in paradise



You did the dusting, i did the sweeping

You did the driving oh and i did the sleeping a little too long

On a picnic 'neath the sky so blue

We didn't see the rain and heartache coming through

When it's all an old black and white movie

And you're sure you've seen the ending twice

Here comes trouble in paradise



You said everything was fine

I'm sorry, baby, i didn't see the signs

Oh so beautifully you read your lines

But in a play where the hero has no vice

And love comes without a price

So does trouble in paradise



Don't matter who did the dusting or who did the sweeping

Who did the trusting or who did the cheating when it's all gone

Laying in a field on a summer's day

Waitin' for those gray skies to clear away

Knowing all love's glory and beauty

Can vanish before you think twice

Leaving trouble in paradise



Now we share the laughing, we share the joking

We do the sleeping with one eye open
