Accident Waiting to Happen Lyrics


ROBERT
There was a time I could stop on a dime
Forbearance was one of my talents
But since you've been around I can't hold my ground
I'm consistently losing my balance

I'm an accident waiting to happen
I'm a mishap about to ensue
I'm the toy on the stair
The three legged chair
The hem that's been caught by a shoe

When my two lovesick arms started flappin'
There was nothing my ankles could do
I'm an accident waiting to happen
So how be I happen to you

JANET
When men say I'm sweet and they fall at my feet
My heart doesn't beat any faster
But when you lose control
It touches my soul
So I'm bracing myself for disaster

You're an accident waiting to happen
A catastrophe destined to be

ROBERT
I'm the rags in the cellar

JANET
A broken umbreller

ROBERT & JANET
A branch hanging loose from a tree

JANET
I can see myself jumpin' and clappin'
For a man who lives dangerously

ROBERT & JANET
You're/I'm an accident waiting to happen

JANET
So hurry and happen to me

ROBERT & JANET
You're/I'm an accident waiting to happen
So hurry and happen to me
