Here Comes Trouble Again

[Verse 1]
Sneakin' thru the front door
Sits down next to me
She ordered up a double
A Tanqueray martini
She slammed it back in one shot
Said martinis make her sneeze
She slid up nice 'n cozy
And she whispered, "Daddy, please"

Now that I got a wife and family
They gonna wonder where I been (yeah, where you been)
With a cocktail and a short skirt
Here comes trouble again (c'mon)

[Verse 2]
Dice game in the backroom
Rent check in my hand (Aham)
Looking for a seven
The dice got better plans
I like to play the ponies
I'm at the track all week (Yeah)
It's hard to handicap 'em
When you're on a losing streak

Now, friends, my wife told me Friday
She'd like to see my gamblin' end (Oh, mercy)
Getting' hard to be a good man
Here comes trouble again (Always trouble again)

Oh, here comes trouble again (Yeah)
Oh, just like he was my friend
Here comes trouble again (Trouble again)
(Trouble again)

[Verse 3]
The government called me Monday
Said something about some scratch
I tried to call them Tuesday
I said, "I ain't got the cash"
They called the house on Wednesday, right?
Said, "If I don't have it soon" (Oh yeah...)
"They're gonna make a reservation"
"For a six-by-eight foot room"

Now ladies and gentlemen, I got a wife and family (Look out)
Please don't take me to the pen (Don't take me!)
Pullin' 2 to 5 in Clinton
Here comes trouble again (Here comes, here comes, here comes)
Oh, here comes trouble again
Oo oh, smiling like he was my friend
Here comes trouble again
