La Rouge lies awake at night
Doesn't sleep for days
I guess he's carryin' somethin'
The pillows can't take away

I feel just like him
Except for me it's double
Baby I got you, and you're

Trouble, when you trouble
I used to not need nothin'
Now trouble is all I need

Well Tessie loves excitement
Can make a dull moment a thrill
She does whatever she wants
Then puts it on my bill

But that ain't so expensive
Got it covered in my sleep
You see drawling I got you
And baby you're

Trouble, well your trouble
I used to not need nothin'
Now trouble is all I need

I wouldn't bet against myself
In a poker game
Or build a house in a hurricane
And lose everything I had
And spend the rest of my life gone mad

In a way it would be a relief
It really wouldn't be so bad
You see drawling I got you
And baby you're

Trouble, well you trouble
I used to not need nothin'
I used to not need nothin'
I used to not need nothin'
Now trouble is all I need
