She's got a face that shows what she knows
She's heard every line
Tenderly she talks on the phone
There's a way to walk that says
"Stay Away "  and a time
To go 'round the long way
A girl in trouble is a temporary thing
A girl in trouble is a temporary thing
There's a time when every girl learns  to use her head
Tears will be saved till they're better spent
There's no time for her to be afraid
So instead  she takes care of business
Keeps a cool head
A girl in trouble is a temporary thing
A girl in trouble is a temporary thing
She's got a face that shows what she knows
She's heard every line
Tenderly she talks on the phone
There's a way to walk that says
"Stay Away "  and a time
To go 'round the long way
A girl in trouble is a temporary thing
A girl in trouble is a temporary thing
A girl in trouble is a temporary thing
