If You've Got Trouble Lyrics

If you've got trouble
Then you got less trouble than me
You say you're worried
You can't be as worried as me
You're quite content to be bad
With all the vantage you had over me
Just cause your trouble
And don't bring your troubles to me
I don't think it's funny
When you ask for money and things
Especially when you're standing there
Wearing diamond and rings
You think I'm soft in the head
Well try someone softer instead anything
It's not so funny
When you know what money can bring
You better leave me alone
I don't need a thing from you
You better take yourself home
Go and count a ring or two
If you've got trouble
Then you got less trouble than me
You say you're worried
You can't be as worried as me
You're quite contend to be bad
With all the vantage you had over me
Just cause your trouble
And don't bring your troubles to me
Ah, rock on, anybody
You better leave me alone
I don't need a thing from you
You better take yourself home
Go and count a ring or two
If you've got trouble
Then you got less trouble than me
You say you're worried
You can't be as worried as me
You're quite content to be bad
With all the vantage you had over me
Just cause your trouble
And don't bring your troubles to me
Just cause your trouble
And don't bring your troubles to me

If you've got trouble
Then you got less trouble than me
You say you're worried
You can't be as worried as me
You're quite content to be bad 
With all the vantage you had over me
Just cause your trouble 
And don't bring your troubles to me
I don't think it's funny 
When you ask for money and things
Especially when you're standing there 
Wearing diamond and rings 
You think I'm soft in the head
Well try someone softer instead anything 
It's not so funny 
When you know what money can bring
You better leave me alone
I don't need a thing from you 
You better take yourself home 
Go and count a ring or two 
If you've got trouble
Then you got less trouble than me
You say you're worried
You can't be as worried as me
You're quite contend to be bad 
With all the vantage you had over me
Just cause your trouble 
And don't bring your troubles to me
Ah, rock on, anybody 
You better leave me alone
I don't need a thing from you 
You better take yourself home 
Go and count a ring or two 
If you've got trouble
Then you got less trouble than me
You say you're worried
You can't be as worried as me
You're quite content to be bad 
With all the vantage you had over me 
Just cause your trouble 
And don't bring your troubles to me
Just cause your trouble 
And don't bring your troubles to me

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.

Truly truly regrettable material, John and Paul could have picked a worse song to write, but not many worse songs that they could have chosen Ringo to sing.
