[Intro]

Go, go, go

[Verse 1]

Forbidden from the beginnin', I saw her there, up there

Been like that since I met her, they said I couldn't have her

Way out of my league, I never believed it

Gotta get her heart, I gotta make her mine

But what if she just tells me I'm not quite her speed or

Shows me her bare hands and crushes my ego?

Dismiss me as a kid, tells me I'm barely legal

But barely legal is legal

[Chorus]

You ain't gone get in trouble

Messin' with someone a little younger, younger

You ain't gone get in trouble

For messin' with someone a little younger

Who loves ya

Girl, if I gotta show ID (Show I-, show ID)

Then I'm gonna (Gonna)

Won't let you get in trouble

For messin' with someone a little younger

Younger, no

[Verse 2]

This conversation is taking us for a loop

But taking you serious is difficult to do

'Cause I don't believe ya

When you say that you don't

Ever look at me quite that way (That way)

You say that you tryin' to settle down

But you think I'm handsome

I should be having fun

I shouldn't move fast

So, let's go slower, not faster

'Cause it ain't no fun

Without ya

[Chorus]

You ain't gone get in trouble

Messin' with someone a little younger, younger

You ain't gone get in trouble

For messin' with someone a little younger

Who loves ya

Girl, if I gotta show ID (Show I-, show ID)

Then I'm gonna (Gonna)

Won't let you get in trouble

For messin' with someone a little younger

Younger, no

“Trouble” is about wanting to mess around with an older woman. It is in The Lonny Breaux Collection.

In the song Frank is assuring, or reassuring whoever he’s talking to that it is okay to be with him. Even if they get in trouble, he has proof that he could be considered “old enough”.
