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
