You walked in smelling like trouble Cheap cologne and borrowed shoes Talking big with that crooked smile Like you had nothing left to lose I should’ve known from the first hello That your charm was running thin But I was bored and half past lonely So I let the devil in Mama said Girl raise your bar But I was aiming low And there you are Cheap cologne and cheaper lies Same old look in different eyes You smelled sweet But tasted wrong Should’ve known it all along Cheap cologne and a broken plan A little boy dressed like a man I blamed you then But now I know I just got weak for cheap cologne You’d call at three with drunk excuses Like I was waiting by the phone Talking ‘bout your broken childhood Like it made cheating feel like home You wore your pain like it was sexy I wore mine like a second skin Guess broken hearts make bad decisions That’s how fools like us begin My friends laughed Said what’s the deal? I said “it’s nothing” Guess it felt too real Cheap cologne and cheaper lies Smoke and mirrors, alibis You looked sharp But cut too deep And left me losing sleep Cheap cologne and a tired old game Different face but all the same I blamed fate But now I know I just got weak for cheap cologne Funny how the smell still lingers Long after the man is gone Guess regret wears cheap cologne too And hangs around till dawn Cheap cologne and cheaper lies Same old tricks in new disguise I wore red You wore charm And both of us did damage Cheap cologne and a foolish girl Trying to fix a careless world I won’t fall That way no more For cheap cologne... Mmm... Smelled like trouble... And trouble sure stayed...
