Well, my mama always told me
She said, "Son, be real careful
You gotta watch out those women that you date."
I didn't always listen to my mama
Maybe that's why I'm in this state of affair
See I went out this night, had myself a good time
Didn't think there was any crime
Now I'm doin' time for my favours
Well I was sittin' downtown, a local café
Just drinkin' my lonely blues away
And I pulled out a twenty dollar bill
And a red-house mama came up
And said, "Sonny, would you like a little thrill?
I said, "Sure, why not?"
And no sooner said than done, she said, "Get out boy and run
I got me a panzer pinscher right upstairs," uh so she did
I woke up in the mornin', my head was a-ringin'
My poor, poor body, it started a-stingin'
But I knew right then and there
I better phone up my doctor and tell him to take care o' me
He said, "Take them pills for a week or ten days, guaranteed it'll go away."
Seems he uses the same prescription himself
(Love trouble, yeah)
(Love trouble, yeah)
(Love trouble, yeah)
(Love trouble, yeah)
(Love trouble, yeah)
Well I learned one thing, you gotta listen to your mama
She don't want to see her little boy get in any trouble
Well I made my mistake, I was out on the make
And it seems I got taken along the way
Lord, I had myself a good time
I didn't think there was any crime
Now I'm doin' time for my favours, hey
(Love trouble, yeah)
(Love trouble, yeah)
(Love trouble, yeah)
(Love trouble, yeah)
(Love trouble, yeah)
