歌詞

I play an old piano from nine till half past one I'm just tryin' to make a livin' watchin' everybody else having fun You know, I don't miss much when it happens on the dance hall floor I said: "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? Hell hi, 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 My mama had a time tryin' to raise nine kids She told me not to stare 'cause it was impolite Did everything she could to try to raise me right But mama never told me nothing 'bout Y-O-U Well, I bet your mama was another good looking mother too Well, say hey, good L-double O-K-I-N-G I smell T-R-O-U-B-L-E Now, you can talk about your women I've seen a lot of others Too much something' and not enough another You've got it all together like a love machine Movin' like glory, walkin' like a dream Mother Nature's sure been good to Y-O-U Well, I bet your mother was another something or another too Well, Say hey, good L-double O-K-I-N-G I smell T-R-O-U-B-L-E Now, you can talk about your trouble, it's a lot of funky bait The men are gonna love it but the women gonna hate Must be the end of every fight there gonna be Must be the beginning of World War III Oh, the world ain't ready for nothin' like Y-O-U Well, I bet your mama was another good looking mother too Well, Say hey, good L-double O-K-I-N-G I smell T-R-O-U-B-L-E Well, Say hey, good L-double O-K-I-N-G I smell T-R-O-U-B-L-E Well, Say hey, good L-double O-K-I-N-G I smell T-R-O-U-B-L-E
