If you're looking for trouble You came to the right place If you're looking for trouble Just look right in my face I was born standing up And talking back My daddy was a green-eyed Mountain jack Because I'm evil My middle name is misery Well, I'm evil So don't you mess around with me I've never looked for trouble But I've never ran I don't take no orders From no kind of man I'm only made out Of flesh, blood and bone But if you're gonna start a rumble Don't you try it on alone Because I'm evil My middle name is misery Well, I'm evil So don't you mess around with me I'm evil, evil, evil, as can be I'm evil, evil, evil, as can be So don't mess around, don't mess around Don't mess around with me I'm evil, I'm evil, evil, evil So don't mess around Don't mess around with me I'm evil, I tell you I'm evil So don't mess around with me Yeah
