Like ’Em When They’re Trouble

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Ever since I can remember so basically forever I've recognized a pattern that when I get together With a girl, a switch gets flicked in my brain (click) I always make the same pick and go for the insane chick I know that dames think different to dudes But the ones that I choose have gotta screw coming loose Either had some abuse and it never got revolved Or they're just the one offs that never fit into a mould Smitten with gold diggers liars and thieves Heartbreakers' troublemakers diva's hard to please Law breakers on reprieve who still push the envelope Zodiac mismatches using both the horoscopes It's like a horror show I'm sorry for my friends Who had to watch the same scenario again and again But I could never pretend that I understood the puzzle The only thing I know is that I like 'em when they're trouble [Chorus] We like 'em when they're trouble, I don't know why We like 'em when they're trouble, I don't know why We like 'em when they're trouble, I don't know why We like 'em when they're trouble, I don't know why [Verse 2] Now I suppose I could go for somebody submissive And know that when I spoke, they would actually listen Go fishing for compliments and always get a bite Like my pockets made to piss in made order water tight As normal as you like but if I'm bored, I might stray off I've sought the out of order looking forward to the chaos Maybe there's a payoff for taming the shrew Either way you gotta lay off when the painters are due I'm stating the truth they're seductive and destructive The amount that I've encountered them counterproductive And I'm bound to be stuck with the diamond in the rubble The only thing I know is that I like 'em when they're trouble [Chorus] We like 'em when they're trouble, I don't know why We like 'em when they're trouble, I don't know why We like 'em when they're trouble, I don't know why We like 'em when they're trouble, I don't know why [Post-Chorus] As I break this shit on down Get up off your— As I break this shit on down Get up off your— As I break this shit on down Get up off your— As I break this shit on down Get up off your ass [Bridge] Maybe I should change what I look for in a lady The women that I seem to attract are all crazy Like cuckoo, madder than hatters All of the above from the former to the latter Maybe I'm deranged but if trouble doesn't make me Run the other way then I'm the one who's crazy Like cuckoo, madder than a matter All of the above but it really doesn't matter 'cause [Chorus] We like 'em when they're trouble, I don't know why We like 'em when they're trouble, I don't know why We like 'em when they're trouble, I don't know why We like 'em when they're trouble, I don't know why We like 'em when they're trouble, I don't know why We like 'em when they're trouble, I don't know why We like 'em when they're trouble, I don't know why We like 'em when they're trouble, I don't know why
