World of TroubleNorah Jones

Songwriter: Jesse Harris

Producer: Jesse Harris

It starts off slow
With a kiss of folly
And you don't see it
As more
But after awhile
When all the dogs
See you
Sneaking
In the back door
You don't believe
When they tell you
You don't believe

Then
A world of trouble
Is all you see

Nights
When the phone rings
And it's so easy
To get up
And go back again
You don't stop
You don't think
To live without it
Knowing
That you'll never win
You don't believe
When they tell you
You don't believe

Then
A world of trouble
Is all you see

This is the last time
Or the beginning
Whenever you say
It's enough
While each day
Each month
Rolls out behind you
The lost time
Is calling your bluff
You don't believe
When they tell you
You don't believe

Then
A world of trouble
Is all you see
A world of trouble
Is all you need

Norah Jones

The daughter of Beatles collaborator Ravi Shankar (her estranged father whom she had little contact with until her adult years), Norah Jones came into her own after studying at Dallas Booker T. Washington School of the Arts. She later spent two years at the University of North Texas' lauded music program in Denton, Texas – alma mater of such diverse music greats as rocker Don Henley and stalwarts Roy Orbison and Pat Boone.

Jones' goal was always to get to New York City, and she succeeded there after years of tough starter music gigs and the almost-cliched waitress jobs. Her debut album Come Away With Me won 5 Grammy Awards for Jones herself, including “Album of the Year”, and “Record of the Year.” Additionally, it won 3 Grammy awards for “Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical,” “Producer of the Year, Non-Classical,” and “Song of the Year,” for collaborators on the album. It has been Certified 10x Multi-Platinum by the RIAA, having sold 10 million albums.
