LYRICS

If you're looking for trouble

You came to the right place

If you're looking for trouble

Just look right in my face

I was born standing up, and talking back

My daddy was a green-eyed mountain jack

Because I'm evil

My middle name is misery

Well, I'm evil

So don't you mess around with me

Ive never looked for trouble

But I've never ran

I dont take no orders from no kind of man

I'm only made out of flesh, blood and bone

But if you're gonna start a rumble

Don't you try it on alone

Because Im evil

My middle name is misery

Well, I'm evil

So don't you mess around with me

I'm evil, evil, evil as can be

I'm evil, evil, evil as can be

So don't mess around, don't mess around

Don't mess around with me

I'm evil, I'm evil, evil, evil

So don't mess around, don't mess around with me

I'm evil, I tell you I'm evil

So don't mess around with me

Yeah!
