Trouble is a Man
Trouble's Serenade: Unraveling the Complexities of Love
Lyrics
A woman gets all the blame
A woman is unfairly held responsible for various situations.
For everything that happens under the sun
Blaming women for everything that occurs in the world.
But when it comes to being bad
Suggesting that men are also capable of wrongdoing.
A woman's not the only one
Challenging the stereotype that only women can be at fault.
Trouble is a man
Identifying trouble as a male figure.
A man who loves me no more, no more
Expressing the pain of being unloved by a man.
Trouble is a man
Reiterating that the source of trouble is a man.
A man I'll always adore
Despite the trouble, the singer still admires and loves the man.
Nothing good to say about him
Highlighting the negativity associated with the man.
Still, I hate a day without him
Expressing the difficulty of living without the man despite his flaws.
Why should he have to be
Raising the question of why the man has to be the only one for the singer.
The one, my only?
Emphasizing the exclusivity of the emotional attachment to the man.
Trouble is a man
Repeating the assertion that trouble is associated with a man.
A man who's handsome and tall, so tall
Describing the troublesome man as handsome and tall.
Trouble is a man
Reiterating the self-centered nature of the man.
Who's for himself and that's all
Summarizing the man's characteristics as being solely for himself.
After all we've planned, he didn't mean it
Reflecting on unmet plans with the man and realizing his true nature.
Now I understand, I should have seen it
Expressing hindsight regret for not recognizing the man's troubles earlier.
Trouble is a man
Reaffirming that the source of trouble is indeed a man.
Trouble is a man I love
Reiterating love for the troublesome man despite the challenges.
