Too Much Trouble
Kajagoogoo & Limahl Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You've been gone for a little while.
I've noticed there's a change in your smile.
Oh how you've made your message loud and clear.
But these are not the words that I expected to hear.

Do do do...

You give me, don't give me
Too much Too much Too much trouble
Too much to you give me too much trouble
Too much too much too much trouble
Too much too you give me

If you want to try we could just be friends
But please tell me should you have to pretend.
Lovers heartbreaks make the sweetest sounds.
And I can hear you when you are around.

Do do do...

[Repeat... Fade]
You give me, don't give me
Too much Too much Too much trouble
Too much to you give me too much trouble




Too much too much too much trouble
Too much too you give me

The chorus "You give me, don't give me, too much too much too much trouble" seems to suggest that the partner is giving the singer a hard time with their actions or words. The singer then asks if they can just be friends but at the same time, wants their partner to be honest with their feelings. The lyrics talk about how heartbreaks can make the sweetest sounds and the singer can hear their partner when he/she is around, which could mean that the singer still has feelings for their partner despite the trouble they may be causing.

I played the 'Don't Suppose' album until I nearly wore the record out, and this song was one of my favorites on it. But I've just stumbled across the video for the first time. I never knew a video had been made for 'Too Much Trouble'! And it's a fun video, too, as so many 80's videos seemed to be.

Los primeros 20 segundos detallan a la perfeccion lo brillante que era la musica de esta epoca

That synth & bass in the beginning is so addictive

This is not good music - but VERY GOOD. The 80s (the song was released in 1984) will remain as one the best musical decades. Nothing to do with the trash of today. As a matter of fact: though Limahl appears in the video as a student, he was 25 at the time. This is one of the greatest songs he sang.

The 80s produced some brilliant music…. This doesn’t include this, it’s awful
