Double Trouble Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was gone
Gone to the army
I was gone
Great long time
Well when I come back home my Baby
Still says she's mine
Still says she's mine
Well I give her
Give her all of my money
Tell me what more
Can I do
When I really don't believe it Baby
She gonna give it to you
She gonna give it to you

She's all right
She's all right

Well I could've
Could've had a religion
When I want
Same day
Well now it's getting me mine let the poor boy pray
Let the poor boy pray
Let the poor boy pray
Let the poor boy pray
Let the poor boy pray
Let the poor boy pray
Let the poor boy pray




Let the poor boy pray
Yeah

Overall Meaning

The song "She's All Right" by Double Trouble is about a soldier returning home from the army and finding that his partner has not moved on in his absence. The lyrics suggest that the soldier is grateful for his partner's continued loyalty, but he has doubts about her faithfulness. He wonders aloud what more he can do to earn her trust, but he suspects that she might be seeing someone else. The soldier is torn between his desire to believe in his partner's love and his fear that she is not as committed to their relationship as he is.


The repetition of the phrase "let the poor boy pray" at the end of the song suggests that the soldier is struggling to reconcile his conflicting emotions. He may be praying for his partner's fidelity, or he may be asking for the strength to find the truth about her feelings. The chorus of the song, "she's all right," could be interpreted as a reassurance to himself that his partner is still faithful or as a mantra to help him accept the possibility of her infidelity.


Overall, "She's All Right" is a poignant and relatable exploration of the fear and uncertainty that can arise in long-distance relationships. The lyrics capture the difficulty of maintaining trust and intimacy when separated by distances and hardships.

This a collaboration between DOUBLE TROUBLE and INDIGENOUS. Mato Nanji of Indigenous is providing vocals and I believe guitar on this, as well.
