Lyrics
I don't know why
I've always been attracted to trouble
Maybe its just
Trouble's always attracted to me
Yea
But when I was a child
Trouble came a knockin for me
Even though I tried
I tried my best to hide
That trouble it just would not leave
I don't know why
Trouble has always been attracted to me
But by the time I was 14
I liked trouble just as much
As it liked me
I've always been on the good side
And yea I've got my wild side
But mostly I am sweet
Maybe that's why
Trouble comes a lookin for me
Its lookin for a savior
If only I could be the one
I'd hold it in my arms
Sing it a lullaby
And make everything ok
I don't know why
I've always been attracted to trouble
