Verse

/ / / / x2

Trouble loves me,.. trouble needs me,

Two things more than you do,

Or would attempt to

/ / / / x2

So, console me,

... otherwise, hold me,

/ / / / x2

Just when it seems like everything's evened out,

And the balance seems serene,

Verse

Trouble loves me,

... walks beside me

To chide me,

... not to guide me

It's still much more than you'll do,

So, console me,

... otherwise, hold me,

Just when it seems like everything's evened out,

And the balance seems serene,

/ / / / - x2

See the fool I'll be still running 'round,

On the flesh rampage still running 'round,

Bridge

/ / / / (?)/ / / / - x4

Ready with ready-wit,

still running 'round

On the flesh rampage,

... at your age !

Go to Soho, oh,

Go to waste in the wrong arms,

Still running 'round…

Verse

Trouble loves me,

... seeks and finds me,

To charlatanize me,

Which is only as it should be,

Oh, please fulfil me,

... otherwise, kill me,

Show me a barrel and watch me scrape it,

Faced with the music, as always I'll face it,

/ / / / - x

In the half-light, so English, frowning,

Then at midnight I can't get you out of my head,

A disenchanted taste still running 'round

A disenchanted taste still running 'round,
