You See The Trouble With Me
Barry White (Black Legend/Ditto) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm like a blind man who lost his way
I can't see nothin'
I'm like a deaf man who can't relay
Yeah, I can't hear nothin'

You see the trouble with me
I can't do nothin' without my baby
And as plain as can be
It's gonna drive me crazy

I walk the lonely streets late at night
Cold and lonely
Everything I do is wrong, never right
I'm lonely for her only

See the trouble with me
I can't do nothin' without my baby
And as plain as can be
It's gonna drive me crazy

See the trouble with me
I can't do nothin' without my baby
And as plain as can be, what do I do
It's gonna drive me crazy

See the trouble with me
I can't do nothin' without my baby
And as plain as can be, what do I do
It's gonna drive me crazy

See the trouble with me
I can do nothin' without my baby




And as plain as can be
It's gonna drive me crazy
