lyrics

Trouble, oh trouble got a way of finding me
My fishing boat capsized by all them fishes in the sea
But who’s that pretty mermaid swimming by the shore?
If my eyes are open you know what I’m looking for

Tell me, oh tell me why’s it all gotta be so hard?
The grass is looking greener over there in my neighbor’s yard
Oh no I’ll never find the one that I adore
If my eyes are open you know what I’m looking for

If I settle in I’ll miss what’s rolling round the bend
At least I won’t become a lonely little man
But this life is short on guarantees
The promise of tomorrow is just a dream
And that sets me free

Sorry, so sorry but it’s already too late
By the time we’d finished breakfast I was planning my escape
Well you know me, I’m always watching the door
And if my eyes are open you know what I’m looking for

Worry, don’t worry this’ll all be over soon
It’s a shame it didn’t work out, it was me it wasn’t you
But something’s telling me you’ve heard this one before
If my eyes are open you know what I’m looking for
