I got a letter in the mail sayin’ that I’m gonna go to jail
Someone’s got an axe, lookin’ out for me
I was feelin’ pretty nice didn’t have to think twice
Finders keepers, baby, keep it away from me

You’re gettin’ me in trouble
Gettin’ me in trouble
Gettin’ me in trouble
Every day and night
I’m all right

Well I’m a high speed king I never think about a thing
Now all I can do is moan, Oh no
Everybody takes their turn from the trash I have learned

You’re getting’ me in trouble
Gettin’ me in trouble
Gettin’ me in trouble
Every day and night
I’m all right

You try to put the weight of the world on top of my shoulders
You got to know that you’re a little girl who wants to feel older, feel older
Trouble, trouble, I’m in trouble baby
You’re gettin’ me in trouble

Gettin’ me in trouble
Gettin’ me in trouble
Every day and night

Nothin’ I can say and nothin’ I can do
Will get me off the road that leads to you

I’m in trouble, trouble, trouble
I’m in trouble, trouble, trouble
I’m in trouble, trouble, trouble

Some folks are interested in word and phrase etymology. It is easy to understand the lyrics to Trouble by Quiet Riot if you think through it. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to Trouble" means the words set to the music of Trouble, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by Quiet Riot.
