Lyrics
Trouble comes and trouble she goes
Trouble is a recurring presence in the speaker's life.
And trouble's got a key to my front door
Trouble has easy access to the speaker's life and problems.
And you come and you stay just as long as you please
Someone (possibly Trouble) comes and stays as long as they want.
Even when I ask nicely for you to leave.
Even when the speaker asks politely, the unwanted presence lingers.
Yeah, trouble. yeah trouble.
Reiteration of the theme of trouble in the speaker's life.
Well trouble if you ain't got nothin' nice to say
Trouble is urged to leave if it has nothing positive to contribute.
Then trouble why don't you go away.
A direct request for trouble to go away if it's not being helpful.
Well trouble I need your help this time
The speaker acknowledges needing trouble's assistance in a situation.
See there is this beautiful girl and she's with some stupid guy.
Describes a romantic interest involved with someone undesirable.
If they could break up, oh and I could move in
If the current relationship ends, the speaker hopes for a chance.
Then I think you and me well, we could be friends
The speaker envisions a potential friendship with trouble if successful.
Yeah trouble, yes trouble.
Reiteration of the speaker's relationship with trouble.
Well trouble if you would just help me win
Asking for trouble's help to achieve a personal goal.
Then trouble you could go away again.
If successful, trouble is expected to leave again.
Trouble I've asked you repeatedly,
The speaker has asked trouble to leave multiple times.
But you just won't move you won't even humor me
Trouble has not responded to the speaker's requests.
So I'm only gonna tell you one more time
A final warning to trouble to leave; otherwise, the speaker might cry.
If you don't leave then I guess I'll cry
Expressing an emotional consequence if trouble persists.
Well, if you don't leave then I guess I'll cry
Reiteration of the potential emotional response to trouble.
Cry trouble. cry trouble.
Further emphasis on the emotional impact of trouble's presence.
Well trouble I hope that you've enjoyed your stay,
Reflecting on trouble's stay, suggesting it has been enjoyed.
Now trouble why won't you go away.
Questioning why trouble won't leave despite the enjoyment.
Yeah, trouble why don't you go away.
Repeating the request for trouble to go away.
Yeah, trouble why don't you go away.
A final plea for trouble to depart.
Go away, please go away.
A direct and emphatic plea for trouble to go away.
