every bad thing that you've heard about me, it's true, it's true, it's true
i've hurt everyone who ever touched me and surely i'll hurt you
it's not because i want to, it just can't be helped
and if you don't heed my words then you can only blame yourself

i am nothing but trouble, i am all bad news
the last thing that you want, well that's the first thing that i'll do
my heart will only bring you sorrow, my love will only make you blue
i am nothing but trouble and i am all bad news

you've got something more than nothing and a sparkle in your eye
i believe you when you tell me
you ain't like those other guys
but i've taken down some good ones,
though none fell quite the same
and you might moan it softly now, but one day
you'll curse my name

i am nothing but trouble, i am all bad news
the last thing that you want, well that's the first thing that i'll do
my heart will only bring you sorrow, my love will only make you blue
i am nothing but trouble and i am all bad news

every bad thing that they say about me,
it's true, it's true times two
i'm a sickness, i'm a shadow, a dark cloud that storms on you
i'm a bitch and i'm a baby, i'm a hard habit to break
i'm the one your mama warned about, that risk you shouldn't take

i am nothing but trouble, i am all bad news
the last thing that you want, well that's the first thing that i'll do
my heart will only bring you sorrow, my love will only make you blue
i am nothing but trouble and i am all bad news
