There's Your Trouble
The Chicks Lyrics

Same old story and Dear John and so long
It should have fit like a glove
It should've fit like a ring, like a diamond ring
A token of a true love
Should've all worked out but it didn't
She should be here now but she isn't
Keep seein' double with the wrong one
And you can see I love you
You can't see she doesn't
But you just keep holding on
There's your trouble
So now your thinkin' bout all your missin'
How deep your sinkin'
Round and round and draggin' down
Why don't you cash in your chips
Why don't you call it a loss
Not such a big loss
Chalk it up for better luck
Could have been true love
But it wasn't
It should all add up
But it doesn't
There's your trouble, There's your trouble
Keep seein' double with the wrong one
And you can see I love you
You can't see she doesn't
But you just keep holding on
There's your trouble
Should have all worked out
But it didn't
She should be here now
But she isn't
There's your trouble, There's your trouble
Keep seein' double with the wrong one
And you can see I love you
You can't see she doesn't
But you just keep holding on
There's your trouble,
There's your trouble
There's your trouble,
There's your trouble
There is your truoble
The Chicks' song There's Your Trouble is a heart-wrenching ballad about a person who is coming to terms with the fact that their relationship with someone they loved didn't work out. The lyrics are an exploration of the feeling of disappointment and regret that comes with realizing that the love that was supposed to last a lifetime didn't. The song starts by pointing out that the relationship should have been different, but it wasn't. The singer is lamenting that the story is the same old one and ends with a goodbye from a "Dear John" letter.
The song's refrain "There's your trouble" implies that the singer sees the love interest as the source of the problem in the relationship. The song suggests that they were always "seeing double with the wrong one," while the singer was always true in their love. However, the love interest cannot see or appreciate the love that the singer has for them. The singer suggests that it's time to move on, to acknowledge that the relationship is a lost cause and to "chalk it up for better luck."
The song's poignant melody and harmonies amplify its lyrical content, making it a powerful and heartrending song, filled with emotion that many people can relate to. The composition and the mood it conveys, makes this song a classic in country music history.
