We Don’t Look for Trouble Songtext
von Gladys Knight & the Pips

Mmm, yeah, mmm

Nice and easy, we can make it
Get the blues, honey, now, we can shake it
Through these hard times we are living
Just as long as we keep on giving

We don′t look for trouble
But trouble keep looking for us
We got a lot of pride and when we need a ride
Sometimes we gotta take the bus, yeah, hey, hey, hey

Work for peanuts, we don't holler
We′re just glad we can earn a dollar
Little Joe asks Mommy, "What's for dinner?"
Leftovers with love, honey, and we're a winner

We don′t look for trouble
Trouble keep looking for us
We got a lot of pride and when we need a ride
Sometimes we gotta take the bus, yeah, hey, hey, hey


Sometimes tempted to do some wrong things
Get preempted when the phone rings
Big bad boss man lost his feeling
I could tell him that love′s the healing, mhm

(Don't go looking) Don′t go looking, we don't go looking
Well, well, well, well, well
Well, well, well, well, well

We don′t look for trouble
Trouble keeps looking for us
We got a lot of pride and when we need a ride
Sometimes we gotta take the bus, yeah, hey, yeah
Escape if we have to

High pretension from our life's problem
We didn′t ask to live in the ghetto
How did we get here and where do we go?


Trouble keep looking for us
Ow, we don't look for trouble
Seems like trouble keep looking for us
Trouble keep a-lookin', we don′t keep coming
Trouble keep a-lookin′, we don't keep coming
Ow, we don′t look for trouble
Seems like trouble keep looking for us
Ow, we don't look for trouble
Seems like trouble keep looking for us
We ain′t looking, but trouble keep a-coming
Trouble keep a-coming even though we ain't looking, yeah
We don′t look for trouble
Seems like trouble keep looking for us
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
Trouble keep a-coming and we don't keep a-looking
Trouble keep a-coming and we don't keep a-looking
