Lyrics

(F. Knight/A. Varnell) (C) - (F) - (G) (C) Trouble you can't fool me (F) I see you behind that tree (C) Trouble you can't fool me (G) trying to get the ups on me (C) Trouble you can't fool me (F) I see you behind that tree (C) You want to (F) jump (G) on (C) me Work hard for living, wanted just to get paid But, sure'd be stealing for a year and a day Would like to see a little sunshine, just to guide my way Would like to have a little peace of mind That's why I wanna say you better look out! Trouble you can't fool me I see you behind that tree Look out! Trouble you can't fool me trying to get the ups on me Trouble you can't fool me I see you behind that tree You want to jump on me Trouble taught me a lesson I never never will forget Now, he took my love, she ain't paid it back yet I had to find another just to take her place And I sure do love her, I said we're doing ok So look out! Trouble you can't fool me I see you behind that tree Look out! Trouble you can't fool me trying to get the ups on me Trouble you can't fool me I see you behind that tree You want to jump on me Well, you know, everyday can't be Sunday [That's right!] It's a funny thing, it seem just before daylight is your darkest hour And you know one thing [what's that?] behind every silver lining, there isn't a dark cloud [And you just ain't got time to go 'round subtracting and adding 'cause you'll just be too late] You know one thing? [What's that?] Every time you get around a tree, you better stop and grab a brick [Why?] Old man trouble... laying and waiting on you That's what I wanna say... Trouble you can't fool me I see you behind that tree Look out! Trouble you can't fool me trying to get the ups on me Trouble you can't fool me I see you behind that tree You want to jump on me Trouble took my money, Cadillac's gone Best suit of clothes, all raised up in the closet, oh Lord But I'm so glad Trouble don't last ...always You can't fool me
