Trouble in Paradise Lyrics

Billy's home, he just back from L.A.
Plenty of lines but nothing to say, he said, "I
Seen this movie and it don't end nice"
Looks like trouble in paradise

He used to be cool, he used to laugh a lot
Down at The Brother's in the parking lot
Now he's sick and he's scared and he's paying the price

Trouble in paradise
(Trouble in paradise)
Mama said he always was so nice
Trouble in paradise

American son, he's not very old
An American dream that's never been sold
The smile on his face is his last disguise
We've got trouble in paradise

There's a scream inside that shouts, "here I am"
Some people say we got to do all we can
Me, I don't know, you see, I've been there myself once or twice

Trouble in paradise
(Trouble in paradise)
Mama said he always was so nice
Trouble in paradise
I'm in trouble, I'm in trouble

(Trouble in paradise)
Mama said he always was so nice
(Trouble in paradise)
I'm in trouble, I'm in trouble

(Trouble in paradise)
(Trouble in paradise)
(Trouble in paradise)
(Trouble in paradise)
(Trouble in paradise)

The Heart of Rock and Roll

Billy's home, he just back from L.A.
Plenty of lines but nothing to say, he said, "I
Seen this movie and it don't end nice" 
Looks like trouble in paradise

He used to be cool, he used to laugh a lot 
Down at The Brother's in the parking lot 
Now he's sick and he's scared and he's paying the price

Trouble in paradise 
(Trouble in paradise)
Mama said he always was so nice 
Trouble in paradise

American son, he's not very old 
An American dream that's never been sold 
The smile on his face is his last disguise 
We've got trouble in paradise

There's a scream inside that shouts, "here I am" 
Some people say we got to do all we can 
Me, I don't know, you see, I've been there myself once or twice

Trouble in paradise 
(Trouble in paradise)
Mama said he always was so nice 
Trouble in paradise 
I'm in trouble, I'm in trouble

(Trouble in paradise)
Mama said he always was so nice 
(Trouble in paradise)
I'm in trouble, I'm in trouble

(Trouble in paradise)
(Trouble in paradise)
(Trouble in paradise)
(Trouble in paradise)
(Trouble in paradise)

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
