La Rouge lies awake at night,
Doesn't sleep for days.
Guess he's carryin' somethin'.
The pillows can't take away.
I feel just like him,
'Cept for me it's double.
Baby I got you, and you're...

Trouble.
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.
See dawlin', I got you,
And baby, you're...

Trouble.
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.
See dawlin', I got you, and baby, you're...

Trouble.
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.
