Lyrics
[Intro Instrumental Solo]
[...]
[Verse 1]
Gee, but it's hard to love someone (When love goes wrong, oh buddy)
When that someone don't love you (Feels like heartache all night long)
I'm so disgusted, heartbroken too (Downhearted blues singin' my song)
I've got those downhearted blues
[Verse 2]
Once I was crazy 'bout a woman (Blinded by love, couldn't see the signs)
She mistreated me all the time (Now I'm left with nothin' but these blues of mine)
The next one I get has gotta promise me (True devotion, a love that won't decline)
To be mine, all mine
[Chorus]
Trouble, trouble (It's been my constant companion)
I've had it all my days (Feels like trouble's got a hold on me)
Trouble, trouble (Wish this heartache would just fade away)
I've had it all my days (Can't seem to escape it, night or day)
[Verse 3]
It seems like trouble (A shadow followin' behind)
Going to follow me to my grave (Won't let me find peace of mind)
I ain't never loved but (Three women in my life)
Three women in my life
[Verse 4]
My mother, my sister (Love that's true, never caused me strife)
The woman that wrecked my life (Took my heart and left me with nothin' but strife)
[Verse 5]
It may be a week (It may be a longer time)
It may be a month or two (But this ain't the end of my line)
It may be a week (You'll know what you threw away)
It may be a month or two (When my heart finds a brighter day)
[Chorus]
Trouble, trouble (It's been my constant companion)
I've had it all my days (Feels like trouble's got a hold on me)
Trouble, trouble (Wish this heartache would just fade away)
I've had it all my days (Can't seem to escape it, night or day)
[Bridge]
But I got the world in a jug (My strength is finally on display)
The stopper's in my hand (This time, I'm callin' the shots, come what may)
[Chorus]
Trouble, trouble (You won't be dictatin' my fate)
I've had it all my days (But now I'm takin' control of my gate)
Trouble, trouble (Your time of hurtin' me is at an end)
I've had it all my days (This man's gonna rise again)
[Outro - Instrumental Solo with Vocals]
I'm gonna hold it until you (Realize what you lost, my friend)
Meet some of my demands
[Chorus]
I've had it all my days (Can't seem to escape it, night or day)
[Bridge]
But I got the world in a jug (My strength is finally on display)
The stopper's in my hand (This time, I'm callin' the shots, come what may)
[Chorus]
Trouble, trouble (You won't be dictatin' my fate)
I've had it all my days (But now I'm takin' control of my gate)
Trouble, trouble (Your time of hurtin' me is at an end)
I've had it all my days (This man's gonna rise again)
[Outro - Instrumental Solo with Vocals]
I'm gonna hold it until you (Realize what you lost, my friend)
Meet some of my demands
[Chorus]
Trouble, trouble
You won't be dictatin' my fate
I've had it all my days
But now I'm takin' control of my gate
Trouble, trouble
Your time of hurtin' me is at an end
I've had it all my days
This man's gonna rise again
[Final Verse]
I'm gonna hold it until you
Realize what you lost, my friend
Meet some of my demands
[OUTRO]
Trouble, trouble
Trouble, trouble
