Late one night, I heard a knock on my door
No surprise, it was my landlord
Notified me I was late with the rent
What can you do when your last dollar's spent
You got trouble
Some kind of trouble

I called up my baby for a little advice
'Cos my sugar baby always treats me so nice
I had a funny feeling that he wasn't alone
I heard another voice whisper: "Hang up the phone"
I got trouble
Some kind of trouble

Trouble in my heart, trouble on my mind
There's never any trouble for me to find
Some kind of trouble (some kind of trouble)

I went to my boss, said: "I need a little time
To work on this poor broken heart of mine"
He said: "I'd like to help you, I've been there before
The problem is, girl, you don't work here no more
You got trouble
Some kind of trouble"

Trouble in my heart, trouble on my mind
There's never any trouble for me to find
Some kind of trouble (uh, some kind of trouble)

I got trouble

I was down around as low as a body can be
So I talked to my preacher about praying for me
He smiled and he said: "Child, you're not alone
'Cos all God's children got to deal with their own
Kind of trouble
Some kind of trouble"

Trouble in my heart, trouble on my mind
There's never any trouble for me to find
Some kind of trouble (oh, some kind of trouble)

Some kind of trouble (uh, some kind of trouble)
Trouble in my heart
Trouble on my mind (uh, some kind of trouble)
Trouble, any trouble
For me to find (uh, some kind of trouble)
