Dave Edmunds - Trouble Boys lyrics

The trouble boys came in I guessed they'd been out fightin' and ravin' It wasn't long before they moved in and picked up The girls we brought to the dance at the night spot It closed at ten so I had to move fast To get my baby back from the trouble boys Twenty five guys from the east side of the city Kings of hell raising in the neighborhood Well, one of them walked up and started dancin' with my girl Who was cryin' 'cause I didn't stop him All I could say to my baby was "Honey, this man is bigger than the both of us" He's a trouble boy and there's trouble boys all around me No one likes gettin' sand kicked in their face I don't know anyone who'll stand face to face With the trouble boys, yeah, the trouble boys Well, I thought to myself it's time to make my move I breathed my last sigh and I started to groove with my baby Who was still dancin' with the other guy By the look in her eye I was a martyr She knew I was dead 'Cause no one cuts in on the trouble boy Yeah, the trouble boys and the trouble boys all around me No one likes gettin' sand kicked in their face I don't know anyone who'll stand face to face With the trouble boys, yeah, the trouble boys Twenty five gorillas all around me I was shakin' like a leaf on a autumn tree The leader came up and he grabbed my hand And he shook it like a brother, didn't crush it after all He said, "Good shot buddy, you're the only guy Who's stood up to a trouble boy" Yeah, the trouble boy and the trouble boys all around me No one likes gettin' sand kicked in their face I don't know anyone who'll stand face to face With the trouble boys, yeah, the trouble boys No one likes gettin' sand kicked in their face But I know someone who can stand face to face With the trouble boys, yeah, the trouble boys No one likes gettin' sand kicked in their face But I know somebody who can stand face to face With the trouble boys, yeah, the trouble boys No one likes gettin' sand kicked in their face But I know somebody
