The Kind Of Trouble I Need


 
They said to stay away man, she will eat you alive
I said it sounds kinda fun, where do I sign
You know that's the kind of trouble, that's the kind of trouble I need
Things around here been kinda slow
My motor's still running and I'm tired of laying low
And that's the kind of trouble, that's the kind of trouble I need
 
So drop me on the head, stab me in the back
Whine 'cause I can't afford a brand new Cadillac
Put me through the ringer, run me round the track
Slam the front door, swear you're never coming back
Wreck my train of thought when I'm writing something down
Leave me at the bar on the other side of town
That's the kind of trouble, that's the kind of trouble I need
 
That's the kind of trouble, that's the kind of trouble, that's the kind of trouble I need
That's the kind of trouble, that's the kind of trouble I need
Spend up all my money, drink up all my wine, sweat me over petty stuff and take up all my time
That's the kind of trouble, that's the kind of trouble I need
 
What happened was the last one left and took the rest of my soul
Now all I do is rent I got no interest to own
And she is just the kind of trouble, just the kind of trouble I need
She can laugh at all my pain, stare at all my jokes
Make a big scene on the night I bring my folks
That's the kind of trouble, that's the kind of trouble I need
 
Go ahead and knock yourself out, take your best shot
Just know that I'll be coming back with everything I got
Ready steady mama, fire at will
But if you stop to reload I'm coming in for the kill
Rain on my parade, leave me in the lurch
Lie to me and say you spent all evening at the church
That's the kind of trouble, that's the kind of trouble I need
 
That's the kind of trouble, that's the kind of trouble, that's the kind of trouble I need
That's the kind of trouble, that's the kind of trouble I need
Spend up all my money, drink up all my wine, sweat me over petty stuff and take up all my time
That's the kind of trouble, that's the kind of trouble I need
 
That's the kind of trouble.........
