Trouble In Paradise

Huey Lewis and The News

Billy's home, he just back from LA


Plenty of lines but nothing to say


Seen this movie and it don't end nice


Looks like trouble in paradise





He used to be cool he used to laugh a lot


Down at the brothers in the parking lot


now he's sick, and he's scared and he's paying the price





(Chorus)


Trouble in paradise


Trouble in paradise,


Momma said he always was so nice


Trouble in paradise





American son he's not very old


An American dream that's never been sold


The smile on his face is his last disguise


We've got trouble in paradise





There's a scream inside that shouts here I am


Some people say you we've got to do all we can


Me I don't know you see I've been there myself once or twice





(Repeat Chorus)
