Work hard for living, wanted just to get  paid 

But, sure'd be stealing for a year and a day 

Would like to see a little sunshine, just to guide my way 

Would like to have a little peace of mind 

That's why I wanna say you better look out ! 



Trouble you can't fool me I see you behind that tree 

Look out! Trouble you can't fool me trying to get the ups on me 

Trouble you can't fool me I see you behind that tree 

You want to jump on me 



Trouble taught me a lesson I never never will forget 

Now, he took my love, she ain't paid it back yet 

I had to find another just to take her place 

And I sure do love her, I said we're doing ok 



So look out! 

Trouble you can't fool me I see you behind that tree 

Look out! Trouble you can't fool me trying to get the ups on me 

Trouble you can't fool me I see you behind that tree 

You want to jump on me 



Well, you know, everyday can't be Sunday [That's right!] 

It's a funny thing, it seem just before daylight is your darkest hour 

And you know one thing [what's that ?] behind every silver lining, there isn't a dark cloud 

[And you just ain't got time to go 'round subtracting and adding 'cause you'll just be too late] 

You know one thing ? [What's that ?] 

Every time you get around a tree, you better stop and grab a brick [Why ?] 

Old man trouble... laying and waiting on you 



That's what I wanna say... 

Trouble you can't fool me I see you behind that tree 

Look out! Trouble you can't fool me trying to get the ups on me 

Trouble you can't fool me I see you behind that tree 

You want to jump on me 



Trouble took my money, Cadillac's gone 

Best suit of clothes, all raised up in the closet, oh Lord 

But I'm so glad 

Trouble don't last ...always 

You can't fool me
