LYRICS

My name should be trouble

My name should be woe

For trouble and heartache

Is all that I know

But Danny, yes, Danny is my name

My life has been empty

My heart has been torn

It must have been rainy, oh yeah

The night I was born

Oh Danny, oh Danny is my name

I'm so afraid of tomorrow

So tired of today

They say that love is the answer

But love never came my way

I'm writing a letter

To someone I know

So if you should find it

And if you're alone

Oh Danny, yes, Danny is my name

Oh Danny, yes, Danny is my name
