Troublemaker
Olly Murs Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're a troublemaker (you're a troublemaker)

Ha
You ain't nothing but a troublemaker, girl

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

Oh whoa, trouble, troublemaker, yeah
That's your middle name, oh whoa
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?
Whoa, my mind keeps saying, "Run as fast as you can"
I say I'm done but then you pull me back
Whoa, 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 a silhouette every time I close my eyes
There must be poison in those finger tips of yours
'Cause I keep comin' back again for more

Oh whoa, trouble, troublemaker, yeah
That's your middle name, oh whoa
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?
Whoa, my mind keeps saying, "Run as fast as you can"
I say I'm done but then you pull me back
Whoa, I swear you're giving me a heart attack, troublemaker

Why does it feel so good but hurt so bad? (Hurt so bad, yeah)
Whoa, my mind keeps saying, "Run as fast as you can" (troublemaker)
I say I'm done but then you pull me back
Whoa, I swear you're giving me a heart attack, troublemaker (yeah)

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

Why does it feel so good but hurt so bad?
Whoa (whoa), my mind keeps saying, "Run as fast as you can" (troublemaker)
(Yeah) I say I'm done but then you pull me back
Whoa, I swear you're giving me a heart attack, troublemaker

Why does it feel so good (oh) but hurt so bad? (And I can't even explain why)
Whoa, my mind keeps saying, "Run as fast as you can" (troublemaker)




I say I'm done but then you pull me back
Whoa, I swear you're giving me a heart attack, troublemaker

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Olly Murs's song "Troublemaker" describe the familiar struggle of being irresistibly attracted to someone who always seems to cause trouble. The singer of the song can't resist the girl's charm, which is evident from the very moment she sits down. Her habit of biting her lip and her hypnotizing finger tips leave him unable to resist her. He finds himself addicted to the thrill of being with her even though he knows deep down she is trouble.



The chorus is an expression of the singer's inner turmoil. He is confused about why it feels so good to be with the girl but also knows that it is hurting him. His mind is telling him to run away as fast as possible, but no matter how hard he tries, he finds himself being pulled back into the girl's web. He feels like he's going insane, but he can't help himself, no matter how hard he tries. The singer's struggle is relatable to many people as we all have one person in our lives who we know is bad for us, but we can't resist them.
