Gemma Doherty & Morgan MacIntyreCausing Trouble Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Came by to tell me how you've changed
You got a new girl, she keeps you sane
And you don't think of me like that
I hold the moment in the gap
But honey, I know you
We dance to Elvis in the kitchen
At least we used to
And honey, you know me
We danced from Belfast to the Basin
When you sang and it stoned me
Well, it stoned me
[Chorus]
You, on the blue carpet
We swapped bodies for a while
What was I doing all of those years?
Causing trouble I hear
Causing trouble I hear
[Verse 2]
You said, "Darling, it's a shame"
Was I intent on staying strange?
Take that car out of my garden
We should have left it on the island
Honey, I know you
Doesn't that count for something?
At least I used to
[Chorus]
You, on the blue carpet
We swapped bodies for a while
What was I doing all of those years?
Causing trouble I hear
Causing trouble I hear

What led to the production choices for this song?
Co-writer Gemma Doherty at GoldFlakePaint on this issue:
Your new single ‘Causing Trouble’ is just lovely, so dreamy with those subtle R&B beats and deeper production and bass. How do you think your sound has expanded since you started and is there a particular direction you’re striving towards...
