About the Song:

People love trouble. End of story, beginning of story.

Lyrics for the Song:

Verse 1:
well I wonder as you wander
Through them hills up over yonder
If loving you is really good for me

It seems that every incidence
Is a little more than coincidence
oh trouble dear I fears our destiny

Verse 2:
I broke a mirror when we first met
Go under ladders when its wet
I shoulda know bad luck would follow us

Saw a black cat cross our path
Then the toaster fell into my bath
Your love is like being hit by a bus

Chorus:
We're like the Hoover dam and dynamite
Like a frosty pole to a tongue sticks tight
Love is blind, it's plain to see
I love Calamity

Verse 3:
If our love was a poker game
I'd give a it a try just the same
I guess I couldn't do no worse

No full house, got no straight
Your pair of 2's beats my 8
Oh loving you has got to be a curse

Verse 4:
Like the moth drawn to your flame
Got only himself to blame
A deer staring at headlights again

I'm the skier caught in your avalanche
I'm the kitten hanging off your branch
Predicaments you love puts me in

Chorus:
We're like the hoover dam and dynamite
Like a frosty pole to a tongue sticks tight
Love is blind, it's plain to see
I love Calamity

Bridge Verse:
It's like a landslide
I'm just along for the ride
Doesn't matter what I say or do
Ain't no way to escape lovin you.

Solo:
whistle

Verse 5:
Like a kid and the candy pot
Don't matter how many times he's caught
He's gonna keep coming back for more

Your love for me is my oxygen
So kiss me babe so I can breathe again
Don't leave me here floppin on the floor

Meeting you was like being struck
By lighting or a mack 10 truck
I'd do it again for just one more night

It don't matter what the signs say
I just can't keep away
If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right

Chorus:
We're like the hoover dam and dynamite
Like a frosty pole to a tongue sticks tight
Love is blind, it's plain to see
I love Calamity
