[Verse 1]
He went to all that trouble for nothing I hear them say
It's too bad that things turned out for him that way
You took my love and turned around and made me blue

[Refrain]
I went to all that trouble for nothing for you

[Verse 2]
I turned my back on the girl that thought that she was mine
I gave up my friends and now it seems I'm giving up my mind
I did everything you wanted me to do

[Refrain]
I went to all that trouble for nothing for you

[Verse 3]
I hear the whistle blow the train will soon be here
And just where it takes me I've got more cause to care
To face my friends is somеthing I just can't do

[Refrain]
I went to all that trouble for nothing for you
I went to all that troublе for nothing for you
