Troublemaker

This extremely fun Olly Murs 2012 pop hit is an audience favorite! It works as an opener or a mid-tempo number, and it has a couple of unique elements, like a quirky synth solo over the dance break and a pitched rap section as the bridge. Also featuring a short male solo for the first verse.

Instrumentation: Piano/Synth/Guitar/Bass/Drums/Percussion/2 Tpt/2 Tbn/Alto, Tenor Sax

You had me hooked again from the minute you sat down
The way you bite your lip
Got my head spinnin’ around
After an hour or two
I was putty in your hands
I don’t know if I have the strength to stand

Oh, trouble troublemaker yeah
That’s your middle name, oh
I know you’re no good but you’re stuck in my brain
And I wanna know, 

Why does it feel so good but hurt so bad?
My mind keeps saying run as fast as you can
I say I’m done but then you pull me back
I swear you’re giving me a heart attack, troublemaker!

It’s like you’re always there in the corners of my mind
I see your silhouette every time I close my eyes
There must be poison in those fingertips of yours
'Cause I keep comin’ back again for more

Oh, trouble troublemaker yeah
That’s your middle name, oh
I know you’re no good but you’re stuck in my brain
And I wanna know, 

Why does it feel so good but hurt so bad?
My mind keeps saying run as fast as you can
I say I’m done but then you pull me back
I swear you’re giving me a heart attack, troublemaker!

Maybe I’m insane
'Cause I keep doing the same damn thing
Thinkin' one day we gonna change
But you know just how to ....
And make me forget my name
What the hell you do I won’t remember
I’ll be gone until November
And I'll show up again next summer, yeah
Typical middle name is Prada
Fit you like a glove I’m sick of the drama you’re a troublemaker
But you know, it’s like I love the trouble
I can’t even explain why

Why does it feel so good but hurt so bad?
My mind keeps saying run as fast as you can
I say I’m done but then you pull me back
I swear you’re giving me a heart attack!
