Trouble
R3hab Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know you love her, love her
But deep down under the covers, covers
Does she know that I am the other, other
Does she?

Well it's not like I planned this, planned this
But you were so fucking romantic, romantic
Why you always acting so frantic, frantic
Listen to me
Just love me, love me, love me, love me when the lights go down
And hold me, hold me, hold me 'til it's dawn
And maybe you can make me forgive myself
And leave me, leave me, leave me when it's done

'Cause you've been nothing but trouble
I know what you're up to
Trying to get into my head
'Cause you've been nothing but trouble
I know what you're up to
Play it over and over again

No I won't blow your cover, cover
I know it's not your fault that you love her, love her
And I'm betting that you will discover
I'm not someone you can try to keep

Well it's not like I planned this, planned this
But you were so fucking romantic, romantic
Why you always acting so frantic, frantic
Listen to me
Just love me, love me, love me, love me when the lights go down
And hold me, hold me, hold me 'til it's dawn
And maybe you can make me forgive myself
And leave me, leave me, leave me when it's done

'Cause you've been nothing but trouble
I know what you're up to
Trying to get into my head
'Cause you've been nothing but trouble




I know what you're up to
Play it over and over again

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of R3hab's song, Trouble, is a tale of a love triangle in which the singer is in love with someone who is already in a relationship. The first line of the song, "I know you love her, love her," suggests that the singer is aware that the person they desire is already in love with someone else. However, the singer believes that they share a deeper connection than the person in the relationship, which is shown in the subsequent lines, "But deep down under the covers, covers, does she know that I am the other, other? Does she?"


The singer is deeply conflicted because they do not want to be the cause of trouble or be seen as a home-wrecker, but at the same time, they cannot resist their feelings, as revealed in the lyrics, "Well, it's not like I planned this, planned this, but you were so fucking romantic, romantic. Why you always acting so frantic, frantic. Listen to me. Just love me, love me, love me when the lights go down."


The chorus of the song is the singer expressing their desire for the person they love to love them back, despite the trouble that it may cause, "Just love me, love me, love me, love me when the lights go down. And hold me, hold me, hold me 'til it's dawn. And maybe you can make me forgive myself. And leave me, leave me, leave me when it's done."


The bridge reveals the singer's internal struggle, as they try to suppress their feelings of jealousy towards the person their love desires, "No, I won't blow your cover, cover, I know it's not your fault that you love her, love her. And I'm betting that you will discover, I'm not someone you can try to keep."


In summary, R3hab's song, Trouble, portrays a complex love triangle, in which the singer is caught in the middle. The lyrics explore themes of desire, conflict, and jealousy, highlighting the emotional turmoil that can arise from unreciprocated love.


Line by Line Meaning

I know you love her, love her
I am aware of your love for her


But deep down under the covers, covers
In the depths of secrecy


Does she know that I am the other, other
Is she aware of my existence?


Does she?
Does she really?


Well it's not like I planned this, planned this
I did not intend for this to happen


But you were so fucking romantic, romantic
You swept me off my feet with your romanticism


Why you always acting so frantic, frantic
Why are you always so nervous and anxious?


Listen to me
Hear me out


Just love me, love me, love me, love me when the lights go down
Express your love for me when we are alone


And hold me, hold me, hold me 'til it's dawn
Embrace me until sunrise


And maybe you can make me forgive myself
Perhaps you can help me forgive my own actions


And leave me, leave me, leave me when it's done
And depart from me when our time is up


'Cause you've been nothing but trouble
You have caused me nothing but problems


I know what you're up to
I am aware of your intentions


Trying to get into my head
Attempting to manipulate my thoughts


Play it over and over again
Replaying the same tactics


No I won't blow your cover, cover
I will not expose you


I know it's not your fault that you love her, love her
I understand that you cannot control your feelings


And I'm betting that you will discover
And I am willing to bet that you will realize


I'm not someone you can try to keep
I am not someone you can possess or control
