Clinton Fearon Lyrics
Don't trouble trouble 'cause trouble will double trouble you
Mr. Speaker
Talk as much as you want but don't try to change us
Don't trouble trouble 'cause trouble will double trouble you
Mr. Big Man
Help us if you can but don't try to fix us
Don't play fish if you can't swim
Don't play with fire if you don't want to get burn
Life is a gamble so they say
But what what shall we win at the end of the day
Experience is the greatest teacher of all
No need for defense if we learn our lessons well
Oh oh take care of creation there's so much to gain
Woh woh woh woh we've got nothing to lose
A little bit of wisdom worth more than gold
Can't be bought can't be sold
If you spit in the sky it will fall in your eye
Once bitten and twice shy
Experience is the greatest teacher of all
No need for defense if we learn our lessons well
Oh oh take care of creation there's so much to gain
Woh woh woh woh we've got nothing to lose
Don't trouble trouble 'cause trouble will double trouble you
Even if you're tough like lion
Don't trouble trouble 'cause trouble will double trouble you
Never wake a sleeping lion

❤️Don't trouble, trouble,
'Cause trouble will double, trouble you - Mr. Speaker.
Talk as much as you want,
But don't try to change us, hey!
Don't trouble trouble,
'Cause trouble will double trouble you - Mr. Big Man
Help us if you can,
But don't try to fix us, hey!
Don't play fish if you can't swim.
Don't play with fire if you don't wanna get burn.
Life is a gamble, so they say.
But what, what shall we win at the end of the day? Hey!
Experience is the greatest teacher of all,
No need for defense, if we learn our lessons well.
Oh, oh take care of creation, there's so much to gain.
Woh woh woh woh, we've got nothing to lose.

A little bit of wisdom worth more than gold,
Can't be bought, can't be sold.
If you spit in the sky it will fall in your eyes,
Once bitten and twice shy.
Experience is the greatest teacher of all,
No need for defense, if we learn our lessons well.
Oh, oh take care of creation, there's so much to gain.
Woh woh woh woh, we've got nothing to lose.
Don't trouble trouble,
'Cause trouble will double trouble you.
Even if you're tough like lion.
Don't trouble trouble,
'Cause trouble will double trouble you.
Never wake a sleeping lion.❤️
