No matter if you're fast, no matter if you're slow, oh oh

The eye of the storm or the cry in the mourn, oh oh

You're fine for a while but you start to lose control

He's there in the dark, he's there in my heart

He waits in the wings, 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

He's there in the dark, he's there in my heart

He waits in the wings, he's gotta play a part

Trouble is a friend, yeah trouble is a friend of mine, oh oh

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!

He's there in the dark, he's there in my heart

He waits in the wings, he's gotta play a part

Trouble is a friend, yeah trouble is a friend of mine

Oh, oh

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!

Ooo, oh ooo, ooo ahh
