You do the drying, Ill do the dishes
Wholl do the crying when all the wishes dont come true
You do the washing, Ill do the folding
Whose heart is breaking
When whose arms are holding someone new
Sittin on a peaceful lake sunnin
Didnt hear the roar of the waterfall coming
When its all a storybook story
When its all so easy and nice
Here comes trouble in paradise
You did the dusting, I did the sweeping
You did the driving oh and I did the sleeping a little too long
On a picnic neath the sky so blue
We didnt see the rain and heartache coming through
When its all an old black and white movie
And youre sure youve seen the ending twice
Here comes trouble in paradise
You said everything was fine
Im sorry, baby, I didnt see the signs
Oh so beautifully you read your lines
But in a play where the hero has no vice
And love comes without a price
So does trouble in paradise
Dont matter who did the dusting or who did the sweeping
Who did the trusting or who did the cheating when its all gone
Laying in a field on a summers day
Waitin for those gray skies to clear away
Knowing all loves glory and beauty
Can vanish before you think twice
Leaving trouble in paradise
Now we share the laughing, we share the joking
We do the sleeping with one eye open
