Well, I play an old guitar
from nine till a half past one
I've been tryin' to make a living
watchin' everybody else havin' fun
Mercy, look what just walked
Well, hello, T -R -O -U -V -L -E
Tell me what in the world you
good L -double -O -K -I -N -G
Well, I smell T -R -O -U -P -L -E
Yeah I was a little bitty baby
when my papa hit the skids
Mama had a time tryin' to raise nine kids
She did the best she could
about nothin' like a Y .O .U.
Bet your mama must have been
another good -lookin' honeytoon
good L -double -O -K -I -N -G
Well, I smell T -R -O -U -P -L -E
Well, you've been sweet -talkin',
sexy -walkin', honky -tonkin', baby
The men are gonna love you
and the women gonna hate you
Reminding them of everything
Or maybe the beginning of a World War III
Cause the world ain't ready
for nothin' like a Y .O .U.
I bet your mama must've been
another good -lookin' mama too
good L -double -O -K -I -N -G
Well, I smell T -R -O -U -V -L -E
I said hey! I said hey, I said hey,
Yeah, well I spell T -R -O
