The Path That Leads To Trouble

(album: Spotlight On Nilsson - 1966)

Oh, you're trying to step around
Walking soft, never making a sound
But you can't run away from pain and strife
You know you can't
'Cause the sound of your sin
Will be carried on the wind
When you're leading a double life, oh

Oh, the path that leads to trouble
Is the path that leads to scorn
And if you take the path of trouble
You will regret that you were born

One for love and one for kicks
Now I got myself in a fix
And the ache in my heart is like a knife
Oh, yes it is
Still I just speed ahead
On the path that leads to trouble, now
'Cause I'm leading a double life, oh

And the path that leads to trouble
Is the path that leads to scorn
And if you take the path of trouble
You will regret that you were born
That you were born
Born
Born
Born...
