I been keeping little honey out of trouble
For twenty five years or more
She got a pretty face she got an easy grace
But she ain't the sharpest knife in the draw
Well she likes to drink and she loves to dance
Always stayed clear of hard romance
A new man came to town
All her resistance broke down
Keeping little honey out of trouble
The hardest thing I ever tried to do
But if you don't go looking for trouble
Trouble gonna come and find you
Trouble gonna find you yeah
So much trouble all that trouble
Come and find you
There ain't nothing bad happen by itself
She was so tired of just sitting on the shelf
Her man he died way too young
And she been missing all them things
That she never done
She tought time was passing her by
Why not give that new man a try
It's so hard when you live on your own
But that man he won't leave her alone
Keeping little honey out of trouble
The hardest thing I ever tried to do
But if you don't go looking for trouble
Trouble gonna come and find you
Trouble gonna find you yeah
So much trouble all that trouble
Its gonna come and find you
Now they living the happy ever after
She's cooking and shes cleaning again
She don't talk to her friends and family
He says she got no time for them
He got her drinking hard everynight
Says it reminds him of his late wife
I'm so worried about her health
But this is trouble she brought on herself
Keeping little honey out of trouble
The hardest thing I ever tried to do
But if you don't go looking for trouble
Trouble gonna come and find you
Trouble gonna find you yeah
So much trouble all that trouble
Trouble gonna come and find you
And there gonna be trouble
Cos there's always trouble
Trouble gonna come and find you
Gonna find you yeah
Trouble gonna come and find you
