Lyrics

And here comes trouble

Manipulator
Can you see the way he twists you 'round his little finger
Manipulator
Um, dressed to tease, if looks could please, I'll see you later
Cold green eyes, you've grown to despise
Manipulator
He'll stab your back, but don't look back

Manipulator
He pushes the bell with his finger
Don't you stop, don't you linger
Check out his new bore, oh, how many more has he got in store?

(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-aah) Check out, manipulator, ch-ch-ch-check out
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh) M-m-m-m-m-manipulator, ch-ch-ch-check out
Check out
Lower than low
Lower than low
Low, low, lower than low
Check out

Ooh, trouble
Ch-check out
Manipulator
And here comes trouble

Jealousy was not his history
Come on now, how low can you go
Not much lower than lower than low
Check out

(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-aah) Manipulator, ch-ch-ch-check out
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-aah) Manipulator, lower than low
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh) M-m-m-manipulator, m-m-m-manipulator
Lower than low
And here comes trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble

Trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble
