On a mission to a station we ended up in the bar
There were Klingons and Cyrano, a trader who had travelled far
Uhura couldn't resist the fluffy thing he had for sale
So she brought it to the Enterprise
Which proved to be a big mistake
Trouble with tribbles multiplying rapidly
Overwhelming the starship, cute little enemy
Meanwhile at the station similar problems
The cargo being eaten and obviously poisoned
But Klingons and tribbles don't like each other at all
So a spy was revealed and the plot as well,
but what to do with every furry ball
Trouble with tribbles multiplying rapidly
Overwhelming the starship, cute little enemyPeople say that together we were both sides of the same coin
That we would shine like Venus in a clear night sky
We thought our love could overcome the circumstances
But my ambition wouldn't allow for compromise
I could see in the distance all the dreams that were clear to me
And every choice I had to make left you on your own
Somehow the road we started down had split us somewhere
Too late to realise how far apart we'd grown.
How I wish I, wish I'd done a little bit more
Now " Shoulda woulda coulda," means I'm out of time
Coz "Shoulda woulda coulda", can't change your mind
And I wonder, wonder what I'm gonna do
"Shoulda woulda coulda" are the last words of a fool
People ask how it feels to live the kind of life others dream about
I tell them everybody gotta face their highs and their lows
And in my life there's a love that I put aside, cause I was busy loving
something else
So for every little thing you hold on to, you've got to let something else go
Chorus
Fool if I would now forsake the opportunities are fate
I know I'm right where I belong
But sometimes when I'm not so strong I..
