When you got trouble, then you got heartache
When you got heartache, then you got trouble
When you got trouble, then you got heartache
When you got heartache, then you got trouble

When your rent is due
And your baby needs a new pair of shoes
You can't hide it from the Jones'
Everybody knows

When you got trouble, then you got heartache
When you got heartache, then you got trouble
When you got trouble, then you got heartache
When you got heartache, then you got trouble

You got eight children to support
And your lady's taking you to court
You can't hide it from the Jones'
Everybody knows

When you got trouble
When you got trouble
When you got trouble
Trouble
Trouble
Trouble
Trouble
Trouble
When you got trouble, then you got heartache
When you got heartache, then you got trouble
When you got trouble, then you got heartache
When you got heartache, then you got trouble
