ROBERT
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 JANET
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 ROBERT
I'm the rags in the cellar JANET
A broken umbreller ROBERT & JANET
A branch hanging loose from a tree JANET
I can see myself jumpin' and clappin'
For a man who lives dangerously ROBERT & JANET
You're/I'm an accident waiting to happen JANET
So hurry and happen to me ROBERT & JANET
You're/I'm an accident waiting to happen
So hurry and happen to me
