TROUBLE IS MY MIDDLE NAME
(J. Gluck / N. Nader)

Bobby Vinton - 1963

The Four Pennies - 1966



Hello, little girl, goodbye, little girl
I'm not your kind of guy, little girl
I'll only make you cry, little girl
Trouble (trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble) is my middle name

Each kiss, little girl, is sweet, little girl
They sweep me off my feet, little girl
But no more must our lips meet, little girl
Trouble (trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble) is my middle name

I'm just a born wanderer driftin' by one day
Each place that I've been, heartbreak moved in
So I'll move on my way

In time, little girl, you'll find, little girl
I've been really kind, little girl
Not changing your name to mine, little girl
Trouble (trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble) is my middle name

Not changing your name to mine, little girl
Trouble (trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble) is my middle name

Oh, trouble (trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble) is my middle name
FADE
Yes, trouble (trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble) is my middle name

As recorded by The Four Pennies:



Hello, little girl, goodbye, little girl
I'm not your kind of guy, little girl
I'll only make you cry, little girl
'Cause trouble (trouble, trouble) is my middle name

Each kiss, little girl, is sweet, little girl
They sweep me off my feet, little girl
No more must our lips meet, little girl
'Cause trouble (trouble, trouble) is my middle name

I'm just a born wanderer
Who happened by this way
Each place that I've been, heartbreak moved in
So I'll move on my way

In time, little girl, you'll find, little girl
That I've been really kind, little girl
Not changin' your name to mine, little girl
Trouble (trouble, trouble) is my middle name

I'm just a born wanderer
Who happened by this way
Each place that I've been, heartbreak moved in
So I'll move on my way

In time, little girl, you'll find, little girl
That I've been really kind, little girl
Not changin' your name to mine, little girl
'Cause trouble (trouble, trouble) is my middle name

Umm-umm, trouble (trouble, trouble) is my middle name
Umm-umm, trouble (trouble, trouble) is my middle name
