Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If you want me to
I will be the one
That is always good
And you'll love me too
But you'll never know
What I feel inside
That I'm really bad
Little trouble girl
[Verse 2]
Remember, mother?
We were close
Very, very close
Sha-la-la, you taught me how to fit it good
Sha-la-la, flirt and laugh, we understood
Curl my hair and eye lash
Sha-la-la, hitch my cheeks and do my lips
Sha-la-la, swing my hips just like you
Sha-la-la, smile and behave
Sha-la-la, a circle of perfection, it's what you gave, sha-la-la
[Verse 3]
Then one day I met a guy
He stole my heart, no alibi
Sha-la-la, he said, romance is a ticket to paradise
Sha-la-la, mama, I'm not too young to try
Sha-la-la, we kissed, we hugged, we were close
Very, very close
[Verse 4]
Sha-la-la, we danced in the sand
And the water rose higher and higher
Until I found myself floating in the sky
I'm sorry, mother, I'd rather fight than have to lie
[Verse 5]
If you want me to
I will be the one
That is always good
And you'll love me too
But you'll never know
What I feel inside
That I'm really bad
Little trouble girl
[Verse 6]
Little trouble girl
Cross my heart and hope to die
I cannot tell a lie
Little trouble girl
Little trouble girl
Little trouble girl
Little trouble girl
Little trouble girl
Little trouble girl
Little trouble girl
Little trouble girl
