That's The Trouble With Love
[©2020 W. Livesay/D. Graham]

I met her on the corner standing in the pouring rain
Just a casual encounter my umbrella saved the day
We shared some pleasantries waiting for her cab to come
She wrote her number on my hand and asked if I would call
And I said yes… caught completely by surprise
When she looked at me with those silver dollar eyes
Love that's a whole lot of trouble
Whole lot of trouble is love
Took my heart and all my money too
I tried to get away when it came callin'
But there was nothing I could do
That's the trouble with love
I felt a surge of energy go racing through my veins
When I saw her looking back at me as her taxi pulled away
There was something magical about this girl her spell had hit it's mark
I never believed in first sight love but no one told my heart
Cause’ there I was caught completely by surprise
When she looked at me with those silver dollar eyes
Love that's a whole lot of trouble
Whole lot of trouble is love
Took my heart and all my money too
I tried to get away when it came callin'
But there was nothing I could do
That's the trouble with love
It made me happy, love made me crazy, then it played me for fool
Taught me things I wanted to know about who I am
Now I'm sitting here all alone mending my ego
These ruffled feathers on my wings just need a little comb
Love might be a whole lot of trouble but i'm right back in the fight
A wounded warrior coming back for more trying to get it right
Love that's a whole lot of trouble
Whole lot of trouble is love
Took my heart and all my money too
I tried to get away when it came callin'
But there was nothing I could do
That's the trouble with love
