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

Trouble he will find you no matter where you go oh oh

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

But 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
