Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She been treatin' me so well
I don't even want to tell you about her
Got a friend named Marie
She been so good to me
I don't know if I could ever do without her
Gotta stop livin' this lie
I'm in serious trouble
Both girls wavin' bye bye
Took advice from a friend
If I want my pain to end
All I have to do is send her a letter
Soon my heart felt anew
So I started writin' two
To make myself feel twice as better
Double trouble
Gotta stop livin' this lie
I'm in serious trouble
Both girls wavin' bye bye
The lyrics to "Double Trouble" by Mr Big & Paul Gilbert tell a story of a man who is caught in a complicated love triangle. He introduces two women in his life, Michelle and Marie, who have both treated him well. He is conflicted and unsure about how to handle the situation. He acknowledges that he doesn't want to reveal too much about Michelle, possibly out of guilt or fear of hurting Marie, and vice versa.
Feeling overwhelmed by the situation, the man seeks advice from a friend who suggests that he write a letter to one of the women in order to end his pain. Taking the advice, he decides to write letters to both of them, hoping that it will make him feel better. However, instead of resolving the situation, it only makes things worse. Both women eventually wave goodbye to him, indicating that they have had enough of the double dealing and are leaving him behind.
The lyrics explore the inner conflict and confusion of being torn between two people and the consequences of trying to juggle multiple relationships simultaneously. It highlights the importance of honesty and the repercussions of living a lie. Ultimately, the singer realizes that he has put himself in serious trouble and has lost both women as a result of his actions.
