Whole lotta trouble
Nicks Stevie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Would you change your mind, at the very last moment
Would you say stop for a second I'll bet you could think for a minute
In the morning light he says when will I see you
She says I don't think tomorrow, baby
Sometimes I wonder if things would change if we stayed together
Would you change your mind, at the very last minute
I think you should stop for a second Think for a moment
This could be a whole lotta trouble
Whole lotta trouble
Whole lotta trouble for you
Well this could be a whole lotta trouble
Whole lotta trouble
Whole lotta trouble for you

And the angel said well you must have had a dream
And you remember it 'till the dream followed through
Till the end of the dream and the dream came true
When I want something I get it
You'd better go he says yes I think I better
Stop for a moment I think you should think for a minute
Would you change your mind, at the very last minute
When I want something I get it

Whole lotta trouble
Whole lotta trouble
Whole lotta trouble for you
Well this could be a whole lotta trouble
Whole lotta trouble, baby
Whole lotta trouble for you

Oh yeah, oh yeah not guilty have mercy!
Oh he says you could be my prisoner
Well you're not living in the real world
You're not living in the real world

You're not my friend you're not my love
And this is something that we really don't discuss
Where are you sometimes I hear you crying
And I wake up and I get through it

Well this could be a whole lotta trouble
Whole lotta trouble
Whole lotta trouble for you
Well this could be a whole lotta trouble




Whole lotta trouble, baby
A whole lotta trouble for you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Stevie Nicks' Whole Lotta Trouble appear to be about a relationship in turmoil. The verses suggest that the two people involved are questioning if they should be together, and if their relationship would change if they stayed together longer. The chorus appears to be a warning, indicating that staying together could be "a whole lotta trouble" for the person singing the song. There's a hint of an argument in the lyrics, with one person saying "when I want something I get it" and the other person asking them to think before they act.


Throughout the song, there are several references to dreams and the "real world." This could suggest that the situation is less about a current fight and more about the larger issues surrounding the relationship. Perhaps they've been together for a while and are struggling to keep things fresh, or maybe there is an underlying issue they need to address before they can move forward. In any case, the uncertain lyrics paired with the driving beat create a tense and conflicted mood.


Overall, the song seems to explore themes of uncertainty and the conflict that can arise when two people are not on the same page. The lyrics suggest that the relationship is in danger of falling apart and that staying together would be a risky proposition.

"Whole Lotta Trouble"

Would you change your mind, at the very last moment
Would you say stop for a second... I'll bet you could think for a minute
In the morning light... he says, "When will I see you?"
She says, "I don't think tomorrow, baby"
Sometimes I wonder if things would change if we stayed together
Would you change your mind, at the very last minute
I think you should stop for a second... Think for a moment

This could be a whole lotta trouble
Whole lotta trouble
Whole lotta trouble for you
Well this could be a whole lotta trouble
Whole lotta trouble
Whole lotta trouble for you

And the angel said, "Well you must have had a dream...
And you remember it... "Till the dream followed through...
Till the - end of the dream... and the dream came true
When I want something... I get it
"You'd better go," he says, "Yes I think I better,"
Stop for a moment... I think you should think for a minute
Would you change your mind, at the very last minute
When I want something... I get it!

Whole lotta trouble
Whole lotta trouble
Whole lotta trouble for you
Well this could be a whole lotta trouble
Whole lotta trouble, baby
Whole lotta trouble for you

Oh yeah, oh yeah... Not guilty... Have mercy!
Oh he says, "You could be my prisoner...
Well you're not living in the real world...
You're not living in the real world."

You're not my friend... you're not my love
And this is something that we really don't discuss
"Where are you?" Sometimes I hear you crying...
And I wake up... and I get through it

Well this could be a whole lotta trouble
Whole lotta trouble
Whole lotta trouble for you...
Well this could be a whole lotta trouble
Whole lotta trouble, baby
A whole lotta trouble for you...
