Let Trouble Be You

You said I was looking for trouble when I fell in love with you
Said I’d never be happy, you’d never be true
You said no woman a-livin’ your life could rearrange
You’re living alone and you like it, you ain’t about to change

But if Columbus could sail around the world
Sail across an ocean blue
Columbus had to take a great big chance
So I’ll take a chance with you
Don’t you go running for cover
The only way out is “I do”
If there’s gonna be trouble
Let trouble be you

You say you love ‘em and leave ‘em, you don’t care where they fall
That’s the way the ball bounces and you’re bouncing the ball
You say I’m racing my motor, that I’m just spinning my wheels
And you’re too young to stop living and kicking up your heels

But if Columbus could sail around the world
Sail across an ocean blue
Columbus had to take a great big chance
So I’ll take a chance with you
Don’t you go running for cover
The only way out is I do
If there’s gonna be trouble
Let trouble be you
If there’s gonna be trouble
Let trouble be you
