Sometimes I get lonesome
Sometimes I get a little blue
He's got me walking around in circles
And I don't know what to do

What good is love?
You can't have it when you want it
What good is a love
If you, if you can't own it?

Love can be so good
And love can be so cruel
Love can make you happy
Love can make you blow your cool

But when he puts his arms around me
Way in the middle of old the dark
You know, he fills me up with a kind of light
Ooh, the man's alright

Trouble with my lover
I'm in a world of trouble
Trouble with my lover
I'm in a world of trouble

Feel so helpless
I can't help myself
I don't wanna see him, oh no
With nobody else

Many restless hours
I sit home alone
I wish I could meet him
Oh, this man I love

But when he puts his arms around me
Way in the middle of old the dark
You know, he fills me up with a kind of light
Ooh, the man's alright

Trouble with my lover
I'm in trouble
Trouble with my lover
I'm in a world of trouble
Trouble with my lover
Mmm-mmm
Trouble with my lover
I'm in a world of trouble
