I came home late again last night You could tell that I’d been in a fight I tried to sneak in quietly My own dog started barkin’ at me Trouble ought to be my middle name I had a girl; I sure liked her a lot First time we parked, well we got caught They called the folks up on the ‘phone Now we can’t go out alone Trouble ought to be my middle name Trouble ought to be my middle name It just won’t let me be No matter what I do I’ll look just like a rebel when I’m through Trouble seems to follow me It just won’t let me be No matter what I do I’ll look just like a rebel when I’m through My dad said I could have a car of mine If I would be good just half the time I got the car just fine and then I wrecked it now I’m walkin’ again Trouble ought to be my middle name Trouble ought to be my middle name Trouble ought to be my middle name Trouble ought to be my middle name
