  • She's got a face that shows that 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 around the long way

    A girl in trouble is a temporary thing
    (temporary, temporary, temporary, temporary)
    A girl in trouble is a temporary thing
    (temporary, temporary, temporary, temporary)

    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
    (temporary, temporary, temporary, temporary)
    A girl in trouble is a temporary thing
    (temporary, temporary, temporary, temporary)

    She's got a face that shows that 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 around the long way

    A girl in trouble is a temporary thing
    (temporary, temporary, temporary, temporary)
    A girl in trouble is a temporary thing
    (temporary, temporary, temporary, temporary)
    A girl in trouble is a temporary thing Writer/s: DAVID KAHNE, DEBORA IYALL, FRANK R. ZINCAVAGE, PETER W. WOODS
