Trouble Lyrics

If you're lookin' for trouble
You come to the right place
If you lookin' for trouble
Look right in my face

I was born standin' up
And talkin' back
My daddy was a green eyed lumberjack

Well I'm evil baby
Misery's my middle name
Well I'm evil baby
So don't you mess around with me

Never looked for trouble
But I ain't never ran
I won't take no orders
From no kinda man

I'm only made out of
Flesh blood and bones
You wanna start a raucous
Child don't try it alone

'Cause I'm evil baby
Misery's my middle name
Uh-huh-huh
Well I'm evil baby
So don't you mess around with me

Oh hang on now, lets go one time

Now I've never looked for trouble
But I ain't never ran
I don't take no orders
From no kinda man

I'm only made out of
Flesh blood and bones
You wanna start a raucous
Child, don't try it alone

'Cause I'm evil baby
Misery's my middle name
Oh yeah
Well I'm evil baby
So don't you mess around with me

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I'm usually not a fan of Elvis covers, but this is phenomenal--this was before she was Jackie DeShannon, and recorded as just Jackie Shannon. Check it out on youtube here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMNP0taPByc truly fantastic.
