Trouble Boys Lyrics - Dave Edmunds

The trouble boys came in 

I guessed they'd been out fightin' and ravin' 

It wasn't long before they moved in and picked up 

The girls we brought to the dance at the night spot 

It closed at ten so I had to move fast 

To get my baby back from the trouble boys 

Twenty five guys from the east side of the city 

Kings of hell raising in the neighborhood 

Well, one of them walked up and started dancin' with my girl 

Who was cryin' 'cause I didn't stop him 

All I could say to my baby was 

"Honey, this man is bigger than the both of us" 

He's a trouble boy and there's trouble boys all around me 

No one likes gettin' sand kicked in their face 

I don't know anyone who'll stand face to face 

With the trouble boys, yeah, the trouble boys 

Well, I thought to myself it's time to make my move 

I breathed my last sigh and I started to groove with my baby 

Who was still dancin' with the other guy 

By the look in her eye I was a martyr 

She knew I was dead 

'Cause no one cuts in on the trouble boy 

Yeah, the trouble boys and the trouble boys all around me 

No one likes gettin' sand kicked in their face 

I don't know anyone who'll stand face to face 

With the trouble boys, yeah, the trouble boys 

Twenty five gorillas all around me 

I was shakin' like a leaf on a autumn tree 

The leader came up and he grabbed my hand 

And he shook it like a brother, didn't crush it after all 

He said, Good shot buddy, you're the only guy 

Who's stood up to a trouble boy 

Yeah, the trouble boy and the trouble boys all around me 

No one likes gettin' sand kicked in their face 

I don't know anyone who'll stand face to face 

With the trouble boys, yeah, the trouble boys 

No one likes gettin' sand kicked in their face 

But I know someone who can stand face to face 

With the trouble boys, yeah, the trouble boys 

No one likes gettin' sand kicked in their face 

But I know somebody who can stand face to face 

With the trouble boys, yeah, the trouble boys 

No one likes gettin' sand kicked in their face 

But I know somebody
