Accident Waiting to Happen

There was a time I could stop on a dime

Forbearance was one of my talents

But since you've been around I can't hold my ground

I'm consistently losing my balance

I'm an accident waiting to happen

I'm a mishap about to ensue

I'm the toy on the stair

The three legged chair

The hem that's been caught by a shoe

When my two lovesick arms started flappin'

There was nothing my ankles could do

I'm an accident waiting to happen

So how be I happen to you

♪

When men say I'm sweet and they fall at my feet

My heart doesn't beat any faster

But when you lose control

It touches my soul

So I'm bracing myself for disaster

You're an accident waiting to happen

A catastrophe destined to be

I'm the rags in the cellar

A broken umbreller

A branch hanging loose from a tree

I can see myself jumpin' and clappin'

For a man who lives dangerously

You're/I'm an accident waiting to happen

So hurry and happen to me

You're/I'm an accident waiting to happen

So hurry and happen to me
