You have made me a wreck now won't you leave me in my misery 
 
Chorus #2: 
I've seen your eyes and I can see death's disguise 
hangin' on me, hangin' on me 
I'm beat, I'm torn shattered and tossed and worn 
too shocking too see, too shocking too see 
 
Trouble, oh trouble move from me 
I have paid my debt now won't you leave me in my misery 
Trouble, oh trouble please be kind 
I don't want no fight and I haven't got a lot of time
