Double Trouble
Beres Hammond Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm so tired
I'm so tired
What a confrontation
This will be, yeah

Now look at me
At a quarter to three
I wanna go home
That's where I should be
Don't know what to do
Or what I should say
Gotta make up my mind
Before night turns to day

Be early
She told me
I'll be waiting for you honey
I'll make something special for you
Now how am I going to enter?
I can't afford to wake her
With lipstick stains
I've got to tip-toe

Now double trouble
Is waiting
It's wrapped up in my bed
I'm tired
I'm sleepy
Can't take the nagging in my head
Now double trouble
Is waiting
It's wrapped up in my bed
I'm so tired
I wanna go home

Now this is my date
Wonder if she's awake or asleep?
If I know her well
She's somewhere taking a peak
What will story be?
This one better good
Should I tell her I had a confrontation
With Robin Hood?

Be early
She told me
I'll be waiting for you honey
I'll make something special for you
Now how am I going to enter?
I can't afford to wake her
With lipstick stains
I've got to tip-toe

Now double trouble
Is waiting
It's wrapped up in my bed
I'm tired
I'm sleepy
Can't take the nagging in my head
Double trouble
Is waiting
It's wrapped up in my bed
I'm so tired
I wanna go home

Now I'm worried for my life
It's going is going to fight
If I go inside
Will I still be alive?
Now fate's behind the door
Gotta promise her a tour
The night is so cold
I can't take it no more, no

She told me
Be early
I'll be waiting for you honey
I'll make something special for you
Now how am I going to enter?
I can't afford to wake her
With lipstick stains
I've got to tip-toe

'Cause double trouble
Is waiting
It's wrapped up in my bed
I'm so tired
I'm sleepy
Can't take the nagging in my head
Double trouble




Is waiting
It's wrapped up in my bed

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Beres Hammond's song "Double Trouble" depict a man who finds himself in a complicated and potentially dangerous situation. He's exhausted and conflicted as he contemplates whether he should go home to his date or deal with some other troubling matter. He's made plans with his date, who has given him specific instructions on what to do when he arrives. He's worried that he might disturb her or make a mess, so he takes extra care to tiptoe and avoid leaving any evidence of his presence.


The "double trouble" that he refers to is likely two-fold - on the one hand, he may be referring to the two issues he's grappling with (his date and the unknown matter), but he might also be alluding to a potential confrontation with his date, who could be upset if she discovers that he's been up to something else.


The song's lyrics expertly convey the man's sense of fatigue, apprehension, and impending peril as he weighs his options and tries to figure out what to do. Throughout the song, Beres Hammond's voice is filled with emotion, conveying the song's central message - that life is full of unexpected twists and turns, and we must be careful to navigate these precarious situations as skillfully as we can.
