[Chorus]

When you got trouble, then you got heartache

When you got heartache, then you got trouble

When you got trouble, then you got heartache

When you got heartache, then you got trouble

[Verse 1]

When your rent is due

And your baby needs a new pair of shoes

You can't hide it, 'cause it shows

Everybody knows

[Chorus]

When you got trouble, then you got heartache

When you got heartache, then you got trouble

When you got trouble, then you got heartache

When you got heartache, then you got trouble

[Verse 2]

You've got eight children to support

And your lady's taking you to court

You can't hide it, 'cause it shows

Everybody knows

[Bridge]

Ahh!

When you got trouble

When you got trouble

When you got trouble

(Trouble)

(Trouble)

Trouble

Trouble

Trouble

Trouble

Trouble

(Trouble)

[Chorus]

When you got trouble, then you got heartache

When you got heartache, then you got trouble

When you got trouble, then you got heartache

When you got heartache, then you got trouble
