Troublemaker Lyrics
You're a troublemaker
You're a troublemaker
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 have the strength to stand
Oh oh oh
Trouble troublemaker yeah
That's your middle name
Oh oh 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
Oh oh oh
My mind keeps saying
Run as fast as you can
I say I'm done but then you pull me back
Oh oh oh
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 fingertips of yours
Cause I keep comin' back again for more
Oh oh oh
Trouble troublemaker yeah
That's your middle name
Oh oh 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
Oh oh oh
My mind keeps saying
Run as fast as you can
I say I'm done but then you pull me back
Oh oh oh
I swear you're giving me a heart attack
Troublemaker
Why does it feel so good but hurt so bad
Oh oh oh
My mind keeps saying
Run as fast as you can
Troublemaker
I say I'm done but then you pull me back
Oh oh oh
I swear you're giving me a heart attack
Troublemaker
Maybe I'm insane
Cause I keep doing the same damn thing
Thinking one day we gonna 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 why
Why does it feel so good but hurt so bad
Oh oh oh
My mind keeps saying
Run as fast as you can
Troublemaker
I say I'm done but then you pull me back
Oh oh oh
I swear you're giving me a heart attack
Troublemaker
Why does it feel so good but hurt so bad
Oh oh oh
My mind keeps saying
Run as fast as you can
Troublemaker
I say I'm done but then you pull me back
Oh oh oh
I swear you're giving me a heart attack

Meaning of Troublemaker
“Troublemaker” by Olly Murs is a deliciously messy exploration of attraction and self-destructive desire, framed as a passionate yet agonizing obsession. The core theme revolves around the pull towards a captivating, albeit chaotic, figure – a “troublemaker girl” who simultaneously excites and terrifies the narrator. Musically, it’s driven by an infectious pop beat that belies the deeply unsettling internal struggle at its heart. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of being completely ensnared; initially captivated by her charm (“You had me hooked again”), the narrator quickly finds themselves trapped in a cycle of attraction and regret. The repeated refrain, “Trouble troublemaker yeah / That’s your middle name,” underscores this central conflict – acknowledging the danger while still desperately wanting more.
Murs cleverly uses imagery of poison and disorientation to depict the intoxicating effect of this woman; her "finger tips" are a source of both allure and threat, causing the narrator's mind to “spin around” and ultimately urging him to flee (“Run as fast as you can”). The song’s power lies in its honesty about recognizing the detrimental nature of the relationship while simultaneously acknowledging the irresistible pull. It’s not just about physical attraction; it’s a recognition of a self-destructive pattern, a desperate clinging to something that knows how to manipulate and destabilize him. Ultimately, “Troublemaker” is an admission of being both captivated and utterly lost, a feeling universally relatable through its exploration of desire's intoxicating and potentially ruinous power – a sentiment delivered with Murs’ signature energetic delivery, making the listener simultaneously cringe and want to dance.
