Trouble

Did you ever have a day

When nothing went your way

And all that you could make was trouble?

You were trying to be good

And do the things you should

But all of your intentions crumbled

Like when you spilled your milk

On your mom's nice silk

And that just made her grumble

And then your dad got mad

Cuz the papers he had

Somehow got all soggy and crumpled

Then you were packing up your backpack

Trying not to slack

But you had too many books to juggle

So you bumped a coffee mug

On the brand new rug and...

Oh no, I think I'm in trouble!

You tried to hide the stain

With a little bit of paint

And suddenly the mess had doubled

And you were almost out the door

When your parents saw the floor and...

Oh no, I think I'm in trouble!

And then later on at school

You were following the rules

All of them except a couple

Like no kicking a ball

Down the kindergarten hall

Just to make your buddies chuckle

Cuz then the principal appeared

And it hit him in the rear

His reaction wasn't subtle

So you spent the afternoon

In the detention room

Wondering how you got it all muddled

And on the bus ride home

You're leaving well enough alone

All of you except your knuckle

Which taps a great big kid

Who starts to flip his lid

And you get into a little struggle

And now your parents are ticked

Because your shirt is ripped

Your homework is a pile of rubble

You gotta go to your room

But then something goes boom

And they find the contraband you smuggled

And now you're filling up the bathtub

Trying not to splash much

Playing with a bottle of bubbles

But then the tub overfills

And the bubble bath spills and...

Oh no, I think I'm in trouble!

The water's flowing out

And your parents are shouting

The living room is one big puddle

And now the fire truck is here

And you're grounded for the year and...

Oh yeah, you're in deep deep trouble!

And now it's finally time for bed

And shame fills your head

But your folks are there to give you a snuggle

They say, "No matter what you do

We will be right here for you

Cuz don't you know, loving you ain't any trouble"
