T‐R‐O‐U‐B‐L‐E Songtext
von Elvis Presley

I play an old piano from nine ′til a-half past one
Tryin' to make a livin′ watchin' everybody have fun
Well, I don't miss much that ever happens on a dance hall floor
Mercy, look what just walked through that door

Well, hello T-R-0-U-B-L-E
What in the world you′re doin′ A-L-O-N-E?
Say, good L-double O-K-I-N-G
I smell T-R-O-U-B-L-E

I was a little bitty baby when my papa hit the skids
Mama had a time tryin' to raise nine kids
Told me not to stare ′cause it was impolite
And did the best she could to try to raise me right

Hey, but mama never told me 'bout nothing like Y-O-U
Say, your mama must have been another something or another too
Yeah, good L-double O-K-I-N-G
I smell T-R-O-U-B-L-E


Well, you talk about a woman I′ve seen a lot of others
But too much somethin' and not enough another
You′ve got it all together like a lovin' machine
Lookin' like glory and walkin′ like a dream

Mother Nature′s sure been good to Y-O-U
Well, your mother must have been another good-lookin' other too
Hey, say good L-double O-K-I-N-G
I smell T-R-O-U-B-L-E

Well, you talk about a trouble-makin′ hunka pokey bait
The men are gonna love and all the women gonna hate
Reminding them of everything they never gonna be
Maybe the beginning of the World War III

Oh, the world ain't ready for nothin′ like a Y-O-U
Well, I bet your mama must have been a good-looking other, too
Say hey, say hey, good L-double O-K-I-N-G
I smell T-R-O-U-B-L-E

Hey-hey, hey-hey
Hey-hey, hey-hey
Hey-hey, hey-hey
Hey-hey, hey-hey


Hey-hey, hey-hey
Hey-hey, hey-hey
Hey-hey, hey-hey
Hey-hey, hey-hey
