[Verse 1]
She took her time and then she took mine
But it don't bother me, no it don't bother me
She gave me a nickel, she said it was a dime
But it don't bother me, no it don't bother me
And I ain't lyin'
I'll just go on tryin'
These are better days than yesterday

[Chorus
And why do I bother looking for trouble?
Trouble will always find me
I'll figure it out one way or the other
I'm not gonna let it bother me

[Verse 2]
She took my life, she took her sweet time
As far as I can see, as far as the eye can see
In the eye of the beholder is so much colder
As far as the eye can see, as far as I can see
Well, I once had a vision
It's just endless indecision
These are troubled waters we've survived before
So many times before, so many times before

[Chorus]
And why do I bother looking for trouble?
Trouble will always find me
I'll figure it out one way or the other
I'm not gonna let it bother me
[Bridge]
She took her time and then she took mine
But it don't bother me, no it don't bother me

I'm tired of tryin'
I ain't even lyin'
These are ways I've seen this go before
So many times before, so many times before

[Chorus]
And why do I bother looking for trouble?
Trouble will always find me
I'll figure it out one way or the other
I'm not gonna let it bother me
And why do I bother looking for trouble?
Trouble will always find me
I'll figure it out one way or the other
I'm not gonna let it bother me
