Step outside and feel the tingle Trouble finds you every night You wonder where nobody knows you Your civil tone is not polite You got no friends, you don't like people You tried it once and they let you down And after seven years you're still hurt and angry And inside your head is an awful sound Some say that trouble is my middle name I find it very easy and I give out just the same You don't want to mess with me So stay out of trouble, don't cry Stay out of trouble, you'll die You're on the street the clock strikes 11 And it takes that seven years away Now you're walking with that lovely lady Just like that you can hear her say "Well, I know for sure you ain't got the money For an ounce of coke or a Cadillac" I said, "It ain't no use in trying to fool me A big woman like you has got to fight back" Some say that trouble is my middle name I find it very easy and I give out just the same You don't want to mess with me So stay out of trouble, don't cry Stay out of trouble, you'll die, you'll die You stay out of trouble, don't cry Stay out of trouble, you'll die Inside your head it sounds like thunder And your room becomes an ugly shell You get your car and you start the engine And you drive with your right foot in hell Well someone said, "Ain't that funny Well I saw that boy just the other night Went into this bar and really got rowdy With his friends and him in an awful fight" Some say that trouble is my middle name I find it very easy and I give out just the same You don't want to mess with me So stay out of trouble, don't cry Stay out of trouble, you'll die, you'll die You stay out of trouble, don't cry Stay out of trouble, you'll die, you'll die, you'll die
