Lyrics[edit | edit source]

I can see the fear in your eyes, my friend
But you can't see what you lookin' for
Here comes trouble knockin' at the door
It's not too late to run and hide my dear
But you don't know where you gonna go
So don't get caught in the middle of the road

You been creepin' in the dark
And you've been stealin' all the lady's hearts
There ain't no love dear, where you goin' to?
So you better pack your bags and your runnin' shoes

It's a shakedown
Hate to say "I told ya' so"
You're havin' a breakdown
Three bricks shy of the undertow

You've been walkin' on thin ice, my friend
Have you even heard a single word I've said?
Cause you haven't seen the caution signs ahead
You ridin' dangerously on the edge, my dear
But you seem to know what you're fallin' for
You'll hit the bottom and come back for more

You been creepin' in the dark
And you've been stealin' all the lady's hearts
There ain't no love dear, where you goin' to?
So you better pack your bags your runnin' shoes

It's a shakedown
Hate to say "I told ya' so"
You're havin' a breakdown
Three bricks shy of the undertow

It's a meltdown
A real high price to pay
A real bad comedown
I can smell trouble from a mile away

Yeah, I can smell trouble from a mile away
I can smell trouble from a mile away
And this is not your lucky day

It's a shakedown
Hate to say "I told ya' so"
You're havin' a breakdown
Three bricks shy of the undertow

It's a shakedown
Hate to say "I told ya' so"
You're havin' a breakdown
Three bricks shy of the undertow

It's a meltdown
A real high price to pay
A real bad comedown
I can smell trouble from a mile away

Yeah, I can smell trouble from a mile away
I can smell trouble from a mile away
And this might be your lucky day
