lyrics

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.”
