Trouble With Me
Take That Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You think that I'm a fool,
I'm hopelessly romantic,
Whenever I'm with you,
See the world through my eyes,
And never look to far,
We're meant to be together,
It's written in the stars,
We're walking the highway,
Doing it our way,
And nothing's ever really out of reach, oh,
Baby, Baby, you're not crazy I've just got my heart on my sleeve,
I never think it over or said maybe,
oh and that's the trouble with me,
I don't want to talk it over,
I carry the world on my shoulders yeah,
Baby, Baby, you can't save me, I'll always leave my heart on my sleeve
that's the trouble with me, the trouble with me yeah,
I follow my emotions,
You'll always call my name,
You tell me how you're feeling,
I'm sure I'll feel the same,
I dream in constellations,
You're always in my heart,
The road it always takes me,
Back to where you are,
I'm driving the highway,
Doing it my way,
When I know you're never really out of reach, oh
Baby, Baby, you're not crazy,
I've just wear my heart on my sleeve,
I never think it over or said maybe, oh and that's the trouble with me
I don't want to talk it over,
I carry the world on my shoulders yeah,
Baby, Baby, you can't save me, I'll always leave my heart on my sleeve
that's the trouble with me, the trouble with me,
Oh I never want to come down,
I never never want to touch the ground again
I'll never learn my lesson,
I never want to change,
If loving you will hurt me,
Give me the pain
Baby, Baby, you're not crazy,
I've just wear my heart on my sleeve,
I'll never think it over or said maybe oh and that's the trouble with me

I don't want to talk it over,
I carry the world on my shoulders yeah,
That's the trouble with me, the trouble with me, the trouble with me.
