 (repeat)
Let  me tell you all  a little story
 'Bout the man  who lives  down at the top of the stairs.
 Well he worked  all his life  for his children  and his wife,
 and he opened  up a little  store down there.
One  night late while he was lockin'  the gate
 A kid came in  and said,
 "You know what I want."  And he said...
"I  ain't lookin'  for trouble
 and I know  what you came  here to do
I  ain't lookin'  for trouble."
 And the kid said,
"Trouble's  come lookin'  for you."
 Well I swore that I would find him.
 I said that I would track him down.
 And in a dirty darkened alleyway I said,
 "Today is your day whatever you do don't turn around."
 Well he looked up to me and said that I can see,
 that you know who I am and where I've been
 and he said...
 "I ain't lookin' for trouble
 and I know what you came here to do
 I ain't lookin' for trouble."
 And I said, "Trouble's come lookin' for you."
 Well I've spent four years of my life here,
 in this cold grey prison cell,
 with my cigarettes and my magazine
 and my life, it feels like hell.
 I hear footsteps in the hall
 and I know they're takin' me away and all
 and I said, "I don't wanna die"
 and I said...
 "I ain't lookin' for trouble
 and I know what you came here to do
 I ain't lookin' for trouble."
 And he said, "Trouble's come lookin' for you."
