You tell me that you're gonna change
Things won't always be this way
And I believe you
I see you for a couple days
You tell me that you're on your way
And I believe you
And I guess that deep down inside
I enjoy the ride
Of a troubled man
I wipe the tears off your cheek
I can't give you what you seek
I want to please you
You know it always baffles me
The way that you believe in me
I want to please you
I guess I'll never understand
Why you'd ever make plans
Yeah with a troubled man
And we go round and round in circles and up and down
And even if we try there's no way no how
To love a troubled man (you can't love a troubled man)
I love your wild and woolly ways
How you always know just what
You're gonna do
You never second-guess yourself
Or stop yourself
You do exactly what you mean to
And even though I know it ain't wise I can't hide
How I love a troubled man
I know that I should make you leave
No one should have to stand by me
But I need you
Even though it's wrong of me
You know how to love and let me be
And I need you
Yeah you'd be hard pressed to find
Someone who knows
How to love a troubled man
And we go round and round in circles and up and down
And even if we try there's no way no how
To love a troubled man (you can't love a troubled man)
You can't love a troubled man
