[Verse 1]
Once upon a time, a few mistakes ago
I was in your sights, you got me alone
You found me, you found me, you found me
I guess you didn't care, and I guess I liked that
And when I fell hard, you took a step back
Without me, without me, without me

[Pre-Chorus]
And he's long gone when he's next to me
And I realize the blame is on me

[Chorus]
'Cause I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd nеver been
'Til you put me down, oh
I knew you wеre trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been
Now I'm lying on the cold hard ground

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, oh-oh
Trouble, trouble, trouble
Oh, oh-oh
Trouble, trouble, trouble

[Verse 2]
No apologies, he'll never see you cry
Pretends he doesn't know that he's the reason why
You're drowning, you're drowning, you're drowning
And I heard you moved on from whispers on the street
A new notch in your belt is all I'll ever be
And now I see, now I see, now I see

[Pre-Chorus]
He was long gone when he met me
And I realize the joke is on me, hey

[Chorus]
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been
'Til you put me down, oh
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been
Now I'm lying on the cold hard ground

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, oh-oh
Trouble, trouble, trouble
Oh, oh-oh
Trouble, trouble, trouble

Cher Lloyd

Cher Lloyd is an English singer who rose to fame on the 2010 series of X Factor UK. Lloyd’s audition was unique as she performed Keri Hilson’s version of Soulja Boy’s “Turn My Swag On”, which isn’t a ‘traditional’ audition song. The audition has now been watched on YouTube over 65 million times and has over 300k likes. During the series, Simon Cowell (The Owner/Judge of the X-Factor) called Cher’s performance of Stay The best performance of the season. In the end, Cher reached the final of the show and came 4th.

Cher then went on to record her debut album, “Sticks + Stones”, with Simon Cowell’s record label, Syco Music. The album spawned hits like “Swagger Jagger” which reached #1 in the UK Singles Charts, as well as “With Ur Love”, but Cher’s biggest break came when she began targeting the American market with her third single, “Want U Back”. The song became a hit over in America and reached a peak position of #12 on the Hot 100. This then got Cher recognized in America and led to her signing to major US label, Epic, and releasing a remastered version of “Sticks + Stones” targeted towards the America audience. The album reached a peak position of #9 on the Billboard 200.

After the success of her debut album, Lloyd began working on her second album, “Sorry I’m Late” with Epic Records, and released it on the 27th May 2014. The album got really good reviews, and debuted at #12 on the Billboard 200.
