Trouble Lyrics
Baby, let me set you down
You look so troubled and I think I know
Just when you think you've come around
There you go
Now I know the business of the heart
And it'll get you any way it can
And you need someone to walk with in the dark, well
I'm your man
I go to the trouble like a magnet
That's where I'll be
Trouble is just a place to sing
It's what you need
I swear you look like you're in jail
And all at once you're halfway out the door
One foot dancing, one foot nailed
To the floor
Chasing those circles in the ground
The same old shit is still the same old lie
Just when you think you've got it down
Watch it fly
So I go to the trouble like a light
Or like a dare
Trouble is just a friend to me, I know
It'll always be there
Be there
Well, it's really hard to make your peace
So give me some credit for the hell I've paid
This world's a blessing and a beast
Every day
So come on, baby, let me show you how
The less you know, the more I comprehend
You don't have to drag me down
I descend
And I go to the trouble and I like it
And it's where I'll be
'Cause trouble is just like love, if it's half the way
It's all I can see
And it's just what you need
You look so troubled and I think I know
Just when you think you've come around
There you go
And it'll get you any way it can
And you need someone to walk with in the dark, well
I'm your man
That's where I'll be
Trouble is just a place to sing
It's what you need
And all at once you're halfway out the door
One foot dancing, one foot nailed
To the floor
The same old shit is still the same old lie
Just when you think you've got it down
Watch it fly
Or like a dare
Trouble is just a friend to me, I know
It'll always be there
Be there
So give me some credit for the hell I've paid
This world's a blessing and a beast
Every day
The less you know, the more I comprehend
You don't have to drag me down
I descend
And it's where I'll be
'Cause trouble is just like love, if it's half the way
It's all I can see
And it's just what you need

This song is either inspirational or utterly defeatest. She's willing to stand by her lover at all times, but the lover is constantly in trouble and trying her patience.
Watch the live VH1 performance on You Tube. Oh crikey, the one time during the song when she looks straight at camera (during the line: give me credit for the hell I've paid). It's so true that in this world some people just feel more than others. Thankfully for us at least, many of them become artists and produce tortured gems like this song.
