The Trouble

V5.5

I put my phone in the freezer Wore two different shoes to work Spilled spaghetti on my computer Stabbed my cheek with a spork I locked my keys in the pickup That was parked right beside my car Tripped, walking over a speed bump Now I’m lost in a park The breeze here is so gentle, how it carries the sweet call of birds Why do I feel like I'm walkin' through a poem and bein' smacked by the words? I’d like to say I don’t know what’s going on with me lately but that would be untrue My friends think it’s comical My parents think it’s medical But I know the trouble with me is you Wore my shirt backwards To an appointment I didn’t have Remembered that I drove there after I pulled away in the cab I’d like to say I don’t know what’s going on with me lately but that would be untrue My doctor thinks it’s preventable My grandma said I need vegetables But I know the trouble with me is you I know the ground is nowhere near my feet, I'm hoverin' far above Something's goin' on with my heart beat, could this trouble be love? I stopped at a green light Stood in line behind a mannequin Didn’t sleep a wink last night Wonderin’ when I’ll see you again I’d like to say I don’t know what’s going on with me lately but that would be untrue My heart tells me it’s inevitable You make me feel so wonderful Yeah I know the trouble with me is you Yeah you’re trouble My trouble 2026 (c) Debbie Browning
