Trouble In Paradise (Studio Outtake - 1989) - Bruce Springsteen

You do the drying

I'll do the dishes

Who'll do the crying

When all the wishes don't come true

You do the washing

I'll do the folding

Whose heart is breaking

When whose arms are

Holding someone new

Sittin' ona peaceful lake sunnin'

Didn't hear the roar

Of the waterfall coming

When it's all a storybook story

When it's 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 didn't see the rain

And heartache coming through

When it's all an old black

And white movie

And you're sure

You've seen the ending twice

Here comes trouble in paradise

You sais everything was fine

I'm sorry baby

I didn't 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

Don't matter who did the

Dusting or who did the sweeping

Who did the trusting or

Who did the cheating when it's all gone

Laying in a field on a summer's day

Waitin'for those gary skies to clear away

Knowing all love's 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
