[Verse 1]
Thin and white and kinky hair
A shadow climbing up the wall
Your letter lying near the phone
With honors for the patient one
I know your dark side is stronger than you think
You always were underneath
[Chorus]
Was this trouble your nature
Why can't you shake it
Even like this
Was this trouble your nature
Why can't you say it
Even like this
I don't know why
[Verse 2]
They always have so much to say
And no one there who cared to hear
I know your darkness better than you think
While all your old lovers falling on their knees
And all their hearts exploding underneath
You always were good to me
[Chorus]
Was this trouble your nature
Why can't you shake it
Even like this
Was this trouble your nature
Why can't you say it
Even like this
I don't know why
