Lookin' For Trouble
Lookin' For Trouble

The first time you take a drink
it makes you spit and sputter
flitter and flutter, mumble and mutter
But the next one
taste so sweet
It makes you want another
And pretty soon you're
drinkin' all the time

The first time you shade the truth
You want to run and hide
Your tongue gets tied
Your throat gets dry
And you start thinkin'
Maybe no one knows you lied
Pretty soon you're shady all the time

Don't go lookin' for trouble
Trouble will find you
Trouble will find you
Deaf, dumb and blind you
Don't go lookin' for trouble
Trouble will find you
And you don't have to look too hard

Trouble will cast a spell on you
And follow you around
And be there when your number's up
And your guard is down

The first time you fall in love
You know the skies are sunny
She calls you honey
And your jokes are funny
Then she reminds you
she was only in it for the money
Pretty soon you're drinkin' all the time

Don't go lookin' for trouble
Trouble will find you
Trouble will find you
Deaf, dumb and blind you
Don't go lookin' for trouble
Trouble will find you
And you don't have to look too hard

Trouble will cast a spell on you
And follow you around
And catch you when your number's up
And when your guard is down.
