Well, I play an old guitar from a nine 'til a half past one
I'm just trying to make a living watching everybody else having fun
Well, I don't miss much if it happens on a dance hall floor
Mercy, look what just walked through that door

Well, hello T-R-O-U-B-L-E
Tell me what in the world you're doing A-L-O-N-E
Yeah, say hey, good L double O-K-I-N-G
Well, I smell T-R-O-U-B-L-E
Yeah

I was a little, bitty baby when my papa hit the skids
Mama had a time trying to raise nine kids
She told me not to stare 'cause it was impolite
She did the best she could to try to raise me right
'Cause mama never told me 'bout nothing like Y-O-U
Bet your mama must have been another good looking, honey, too

Yeah
Hey, good L double O-K-I-N-G
Well, I smell T-R-O-U-B-L-E

Well, you're a sweet talking, sexy walking, honky tonking baby
The men are gonna love you and the women gonna hate you
Reminding them of everything they're never gonna be
May be the beginning of a world war three
'Cause the world ain't ready for nothing like Y-O-U
I bet your mama must been another good looking mama, too

Hey, say hey, good L double O-K-I-N-G
Well, I smell T-R-O-U-B-L-E

I said hey
I said hey
I said hey
I said hey
I said hey (Hey)

Oh, I smell T-R-O-U-B-L-E
Yeah
