Some Kind Of Trouble
Tanya Tucker Lyrics

Late one night, I heard a knock on my door,
I was awakened by a surprise knock on my door at night.

No surprise, it was my landlord.
I wasn't surprised to find my landlord at my doorstep.

Notified me I was late with the rent.
My landlord informed me that I had delayed paying the rent.

What can you do when your last dollar's spent,
I was struggling financially and had no money left.

You got trouble.
I was faced with a problem.

Some kind of trouble.
It was a difficult situation that I was in.

I called up my baby for a little advice,
I reached out to my partner for guidance.

'Cause my sugar baby always treats me so nice.
I trusted my partner because they always treated me well.

I had a funny feelin' that he wasn't alone,
But I suspected my partner wasn't alone on the call.

I heard another voice whisper: "Hang up the 'phone."'
And I heard an unfamiliar voice telling my partner to end the call.

Trouble in my heart, trouble on my mind,
I was deeply troubled and couldn't shake it from my thoughts.

There's never any trouble for me to find,
I always seem to be surrounded by problems.

I went to my boss, said: "I need a little time.
I approached my employer for a break from work.

"To work on this poor broken heart of mine."
I needed time to heal my emotional wounds.

He said: "I'd like to help you, I been there before.
My boss empathized with me and had gone through something similar.

"The problem is, girl, you don't work here no more.
But unfortunately, I was no longer employed there.

"You got trouble."
And he confirmed that I was indeed facing a difficult situation.

"Some kind of trouble."
It was an unpleasant and uncomfortable problem to deal with.

I was down around as low as a body can be,
I was feeling extremely dejected and hopeless.

So I talked to my preacher about prayin' for me.
I turned to my religious leader for spiritual guidance and support.

He smiled and he said: "Child, you're not alone.
My preacher reassured me that I was not alone in my struggles.

"'Cause all God's children got to deal with their own,
He reminded me that everyone has their own set of problems to face in life.

"Kinda Trouble.
And that my troubles were a normal part of the human experience.

"Some kind of trouble."
My troubles were unique, but still a familiar and universal experience.

Trouble, any trouble,
I seemed to attract problems and issues in my life.

For me to find. (Oooh, some kind of trouble.)
And I couldn't seem to escape this cycle of trouble and difficulty.
