you do the drying i ll do the dishes who ll do the crying when all the wishes don t come true you do the washing i ll do the folding whose heart is breaking when whose arms are holding someone new sittin on a peaceful lake sunnin didn t hear the roar of the waterfall coming when it s all a storybook story when it s all so easy and nice here comes trouble in paradise you did the dusting i did the sweeping you did the driving oh and i did the sleeping a little too long on a picnic neath the sky so blue we didn t see the rain and heartache coming through when it s all an old black and white movie and you re sure you ve seen the ending twice here comes trouble in paradise you said everything was fine i m sorry baby i didn t see the signs oh so beautifully you read your lines in a play where the hero has no vice and love comes without a price so does trouble in paradise don t matter who did the dusting or who did the sweeping who did the trusting or who did the cheating when it s all gone laying in a field on a summer s day waitin for those gray skies to clear away knowing all love s glory and beauty can vanish before you think twice leaving trouble in paradise  now we share the laughing we share the joking we do the sleeping with one eye open
