Trouble will find you no mater where you go, oh oh No Matter if you're fast no matter if you're slow, oh oh The eye of the storm and the cry in the morn, oh oh Your fine for a while but then start to loose control He's there in the dark He's there in my heart He waits in the winds He's gotta play a part Trouble is a friend Yeah trouble is a friend of mine. oh oh Trouble is a friend but trouble is a foe, oh oh And no matter what I feed him he always seems to grow, oh oh He sees what I see and he knows what I know, oh oh So don't forget as you ease on down the road So don't be alarmed if he takes you by the arm I won't let him win, but I'm a sucker for his charm Trouble is a friend Yeah trouble is a friend of mine, oh oh Oh how I hate the way he makes me feel And how I try to make him leave, I try Oh Oh I try
