Alannah Myles

When it comes to trouble
I don't think twice
When it comes to trouble
I've paid the price
I 've let my guard down
And I been caught
There ain't a lesson baby
I ain't been taught

Chorus:
Comon' trouble
Ah hoo
I'm in trouble
Ah ooh, hoo, hoo hoo
I call 9, 1, 1, when I'm in a fix
When I need you baby I call 6, 6, 6
I'm in trouble

VerseII
You might be the last
You sure ain't the first
I could be the best for you baby
Or I could be the worst
If we let it slide
It'd be a crying shame
We got the same bad blood runnin' through our veins

Chorus:
Tag:
Trouble, trouble 'round the bend
Trouble, I'm gonna get in you
I ain't lyin' baby
Ah ooh, hoo,hoo hoo
Comon' touble , damn that trouble
Comes to trouble, I need a fix
I call 6, 6, 6, oh yeah, I'm in trouble again....
Uh, uh, uh uh huh, yeah

When Alannah Myles played the role of a young aspiring singer on an episode of The Kids Of Degrassi Street, it was more than just an act. Less than a decade later, the daughter of Canadian Hall Of Fame Broadcaster William Douglas Byles would be a Grammy and Juno Award-winning singer best known for her 1990 international hit “Black Velvet”.

Myles (who changed her last name from Byles as a teen) began writing songs at nine and was participating in Toronto’s Kiwanis Music Festival at twelve. While gigging solo at nineteen across southern Ontario, songwriter/musician Christopher Ward invited her to form a rock and blues cover band with him. During this time Ward became MuchMusic’s first VJ.

Ward spent seven years trying to get Myles signed. He produced a three song demo for her, and her entertainment lawyer Stephen Stohn came up with the idea of making a ‘video demo’ of Myles singing “Just One Kiss”. This finally attracted Warner Music Canada in 1987. The demo was passed along to Warner’s US affiliate labels and Atlantic Records also took interest.
