You've Got Your Troubles
Freddie Roach Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I see that worried look upon your face
You've got your troubles, I've got mine
She's found somebody else to take your place
You've got your troubles, I've got mine

I too have lost my love today
All of my dreams have flown away
Now just like you, I sit and wonder why
You've got your troubles, I've got mine
You need some sympathy, well so do I
You've got your troubles, I've got mine

She used to love me, that I know
And it don't seem so long ago

That we were walking
And we were talking
The way that lovers do

I too have lost my love today
All of my dreams have flown away

And so forgive me if I seem unkind (I ain't got no pity for you)
You've got your troubles, I've got mine (I lost, I lost, I lost my little girl
Too)
I'd help another place, another time
You've got your troubles, I've got mine





You've got your troubles, I've got mine
You've got your troubles, I've got mine.

Overall Meaning

The overall theme of Freddie Roach's song "You've Got Your Troubles" is the universal human struggle of love lost and coping with heartbreak. The first lines set the scene with the singer observing the distressed look on another person's face, acknowledging that both parties have their own set of problems. The subsequent lines reveal that the person being addressed has lost their love to someone else while the singer has also recently experienced a similar loss.


The lyrics shift between the perspectives of the two individuals, with the singer sympathizing with the other while also acknowledging their own pain. The reference to a shared experience of "walking and talking" with someone they loved adds to the emotional resonance of the song, emphasizing the commonality of human connection and heartbreak.


The song's concluding lines suggest a sense of distance between the two individuals, with the singer acknowledging that they cannot offer help at this moment but still emphasizing the shared nature of their struggles. The repeated refrain of "You've got your troubles, I've got mine" reinforces the idea that everyone experiences their own hardships, but we can still find connection through these shared experiences.
