Words and Music

Notes

One of my earliest songs. Through the years the music has evolved, but the song remains. The classic story of good love gone bad -js

Lyrics

They told me once, they told me twice
They told me what you'd do
They told me what would happen
If I messed around with you

Wish I could've read the writing on the wall
It could've been nice now baby
But it ain't that way at all

Trouble, ah nothing but trouble
Trouble, that's all you've ever been
Trouble, oh baby
Really can't believe
The big ole hole you tore in my heart
Trouble, and here ya come again

Now you're the kind that'll take my money
Love another guy
Break my heart, keep me hoping
Till the day I die

I've learned my lesson baby
Learned my lesson well
I'm gone for good that's for certain
Guess it's just as well

Trouble, ah nothing but trouble
Trouble, that's all you've ever been
And I think it's a sin
Oh trouble, oh oh baby
Really can't believe
How you broke up my happy home
Trouble, and here ya come again

Here ya come again
I smell ya coming
A mile away

Someday baby, now someday soon
You know ya get what's coming to you
For all the grief you put me through
Those days you weren't true
Your past is gonna catch you
Just you wait and see
So when you're down and hurting
Don't come crying to me

Trouble , ah nothing but trouble
Trouble , that's all you've ever been
And I think it's a sin
Trouble , oh baby

Really can't believe I gave up
The best years of my life
For your trouble
And here ya come again
Here ya come again
I smell ya coming
A mile away
