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!
