When you want me
When you hold me
You make me weak and I can't fight it
I should face it I have skated
Way too far out on thin ice
You break me...
You shatter my resistance you don't even see
What you do to me ah

That's where the trouble lies
That's where the trouble lies
That's where the trouble lies
That's where the trouble lies

The best of plans slip through my hands
You toss them off so easily
Old desires never fail to make
Us all act so carelessly
So take me..
Treat me like the one thing you'd never leave
Oh please..
The user never knows how much the drug shows

That's where the trouble lies
That's where the trouble lies
That's where the trouble lies
That's where the trouble lies

Hot then cold then maybe
Don't that drive you baby
Over the speed limit with me
Huh

That's where the trouble lies

Kim Carnes (born July 20, 1945) is an American singer-songwriter. Born and raised in Los Angeles, California, she began her career as a songwriter in the 1960s, writing for other artists while performing in local clubs and working as a session background singer with the famed Waters sisters (featured in the documentary 20 Feet from Stardom). After she signed her first publishing deal with Jimmy Bowen, she released her debut album Rest on Me in 1972. Carnes' self-titled second album primarily contained self-penned songs, including her first charting single “You’re a Part of Me”, which reached No. 35 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart in 1975. In the following year, Carnes released Sailin', which featured “Love Comes from Unexpected Places”. The song won the American Song Festival and the award for Best Composition at the Tokyo Song Festival in 1976.
