Nobody knows the answer as far as I can see As to why there is so much trouble here for me But she hides in the darkest of places And that's where I'm often seen But why is there so much trouble here for me Cuz there's trouble when I close my eyes There's trouble when I go outside There's trouble everywhere I go It's gonna get me anyday I know It's hard bein free So trouble trouble trouble won't you leave And what do I tell the preacher And what do I tell my friends Next time that trouble takes me down again I could run to my lovin sister Or I could go to bed & dream But most of the time this trouble is findin me Cuz there's trouble when I close my eyes There's trouble when I go outside And there's trouble everywhere I go It's gonna get me anyday I know It's hard bein free So trouble trouble trouble won't you leave I guess that it ain't so bad Doin things the way that I do Cuz when the night rolls around All that's left is me and you And you're there every time that I need you And you're there every time that I don't I could ask you to politely to go But I know you won't Cuz there's trouble when I close my eyes There's trouble when I go outside And there's trouble everywhere I go It's gonna get me anyday I know There's trouble gonna bring me down It's gonna put me in the underground It's so hard bein free So trouble trouble trouble won't you leave So trouble trouble trouble won't you leave
