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
