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
