"Troubled Eyes" lyrics

"Troubled Eyes"

Trouble is you're going about it all wrong
If you wanna find love, you gotta know where to start
Troubled eyes, troubled mind, troubled heart
Now she might be pretty, she might have a nice smile
Might have money and she might be smart
Troubled eyes, troubled mind, troubled heart

Say you meet a little lover, you get all hot and bothered
You wanna take her home with you on a Friday night
Just take a moment before you really get going
Just to look that woman in her eyes
Out to lunch on a Tuesday, Sunday at church
Any day of the week out at the bar
Troubled eyes, troubled mind, troubled heart

Well, you gotta be careful when you come out at night
Beware of anything that you find in the dark
Troubled eyes, troubled mind, troubled heart
You can't be carrying on, can't be drinking too much
You gotta keep cool, yeah, you gotta stay sharp
Troubled eyes, troubled mind, troubled heart

Thinking back to the girl before last
Oh Lord, what was her name?
That long, long-legged blonde
That could come all undone blowing cheap cocaine
Ain't got nobody to blame but you, but yourself
Don't gotta make every little thing so hard
Troubled eyes, troubled mind, troubled heart

Well, I'm begging your pardon but I'm just getting started
And thinking maybe you ain't so bright
Oh, but I kinda like you, don't ask me why
Just listen up, I'll tell you one more time

Trouble is you're going about it all wrong
Wanna find love, you gotta know where to start
Troubled eyes, troubled mind, troubled heart
Troubled eyes, troubled mind, troubled heart
