It starts off slow with a kiss of folly
And you don’t see it as more
But after awhile when all the dogs see you
Sneaking in the back door...
You don’t believe when they tell you
You don’t believe
Then a world of trouble is all you see
Nights when the phone rings and it’s so easy
To get up and go back again
You don’t stop, you don’t think to live without it
Knowing that you’ll never win
You don’t believe when they tell you
You don’t believe
Then a world of trouble is all you see
This is the last time or the beginning
Whenever you say it’s enough
While each day, each month rolls out behind you
The lost time is calling your bluff
You don’t believe when they tell you
You don’t believe
Then a world of trouble is all you see
A world of trouble is all you need
