Trouble With The Sweet Stuff

(album: Charmed Life - 1990)

(Wanna give it up
Gotta give it up
Can't give it up)

Oh mama oh oh
The money's run out
And I'm a hungry man
Oh mama oooo
You see
I--I'm a--hurting man
I was just a boy
When they told me
"God love ya"
"You're insane"
Here I am
Pistol in my hand
Judge and jury
One the same
I got
Trouble with the sweet stuff oh yeah
I got
Trouble with the sweet stuff oh yeah
And I'm never ever gonna shake it
Shake it
Trouble with the sweet stuff
Trouble with the sweet stuff

Bang bang
They shot me down
Caught me
Robbing the bank again
Say I'm crazy
I'm a desperate man
Nah right (c'mon)
Daddy's in the junk shop
Alley babe
Trying to some that stuff
I said
I can't believe it (ooh give it up)

Trouble with the sweet stuff oh yeah
I got
Trouble with the sweet stuff
And I'm never
Ever gonna shake it

Shake it

Don't wanna give it up
Don't wanna give it up
Yeah
Shake it
Gotta give it up
Don't wanna give it up
Don't wanna give it up

Trouble with the sweet stuff oh yeah
Mommy's in the graveyard
Pushed her oh so long
Baby ain't crying
Cradles cold, long gone
And me mama, mama
Yes when the situation
Breaks down

Bang bang
They shot me down
Caught me robbin d' bank again
