Trouble in paradise

You do the drying, I'll do the dishesWho'll do the crying when all the wishes don't come trueYou do the washing, I'll do the foldingWhose heart is breakingWhen whose arms are holding someone newSittin' on a peaceful lake sunnin'Didn't hear the roar of the waterfall comingWhen it's all a storybook storyWhen it's all so easy and niceHere comes trouble in paradiseYou did the dusting, I did the sweepingYou did the driving oh and I did the sleeping a little too longOn a picnic 'neath the sky so blueWe didn't see the rain and heartache coming throughWhen it's all an old black and white movieAnd you're sure you've seen the ending twiceHere comes trouble in paradiseYou said everything was fineI'm sorry, baby, I didn't see the signsOh so beautifully you read your linesBut in a play where the hero has no viceAnd love comes without a priceSo does trouble in paradiseDon't matter who did the dusting or who did the sweepingWho did the trusting or who did the cheating when it's all goneLaying in a field on a summer's dayWaitin' for those gray skies to clear awayKnowing all love's glory and beautyCan vanish before you think twiceLeaving trouble in paradiseNow we share the laughing, we share the jokingWe do the sleeping with one eye open
