Troublesome Kind

When I was leaving town you said, "Write ten songs for me"
So I turned around and offered twenty if you promised to leave
Leave with me, find a new home
Then you turned away to where you said you belonged

One year later I came back 'round to deliver
Your first words to me, "Take me to bed now or lose me forever"
Didn't hesitate, didn't blink an eye
Turned and walked away, pulled down the blinds

And I know you are the troublesome kind
Almost as much trouble as I am
You may keep me by your side
But can you keep me in your heart one night

It's seems lately we're like a two-engine automobile
Both of us giving directions, but only one fits behind the wheel

Curled up in bed one morning
Listening to the singer's warning
"How much of your love is true?"

If I were to stick around you'd have to be the devil in overalls
I think I'm gonna travel on so won't you see me to the rails
I know the story well, like night and day
I take you by the hand and you pull away

I know you are the troublesome kind
Almost as much trouble as I am
You may keep me by your side
But can you keep me in your heart one night?
