Accident Waiting To Happen Lyrics - The Drowsy Chaperone (2006 Original Broadway Cast) - Lisa Lambert

ROBERT 

There was a time I could stop on a dime 

Forbearance was one of my talents 

But since you've been around I can't hold my ground 

I'm consistently losing my balance 

I'm an accident waiting to happen 

I'm a mishap about to ensue 

I'm the toy on the stair 

The three legged chair 

The hem that's been caught by a shoe 

When my two lovesick arms started flappin' 

There was nothing my ankles could do 

I'm an accident waiting to happen 

So how be I happen to you 

JANET 

When men say I'm sweet and they fall at my feet 

My heart doesn't beat any faster 

But when you lose control 

It touches my soul 

So I'm bracing myself for disaster 

You're an accident waiting to happen 

A catastrophe destined to be 

ROBERT 

I'm the rags in the cellar 

JANET 

A broken umbreller 

ROBERT & JANET 

A branch hanging loose from a tree 

JANET 

I can see myself jumpin' and clappin' 

For a man who lives dangerously 

ROBERT & JANET 

You're/I'm an accident waiting to happen 

JANET 

So hurry and happen to me 

ROBERT & JANET 

You're/I'm an accident waiting to happen 

So hurry and happen to me
