[Verse 1]
I was so ugly the doctor slapped my momma when I was born
Then he took out his pocket knife and cut off my horns
He said, "Lady if you ain't already picked out a name
Go ahead on and call him Trouble Man"

[Chorus]
He's gonna be wild
I'm giving you warning
He's gotta have room
Keep an eye on him

[Verse 2]
I grew up with long and lean and hungry looks
I learned you can't go nowhere when you go by the book
People all around me earthbound, I learned how to fly
Upside, downside, outside, sailing on by

[Chorus]
Out of my reach
Out of my hands
Out of control
Trouble Man

[Verse 3]
I've been so far in all directions as you can get
I ain't never had enough of anything yet
I have women that tore me apart without any reason
I say, "Baby I don't get mad I just get even"

[Outro]
I don't explain
If you don't understand
I'm my own man
Trouble Man
Trouble man
