Ole Man Trouble Lyrics

Ole man trouble
Go find you someone else to pick on
I live my live now you see
Ole man trouble
Please stay away from me, now

Ooh yeah,
Yeah

Oh I look like I'm down in my luck
Please send faith to help pick me up
I've lived this way so many years Ole man trouble

Please wash away all my fears
Help me

Sometimes
Sometime I get - I get a little worried
ole man trouble Please Please

Stay away from me
Ole man trouble
Stay away from me
You're nothing but trouble
Stay away, stay away Please

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
