Double Trouble
Will Ferrell & My Marianne Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey baby, when you look at me
I know I'm in double trouble tonight
Hey baby, when you talk to me
I know I'm in double trouble tonight
Show me your love (oh-oh)
Give me your love (oh-oh)
How can something so wrong feel so right? (Oh-oh)
Straight from above (oh-oh), the whitest dove (oh-oh)
I'm in double trouble tonight

Double trouble tonight
Double trouble tonight
Double trouble, double, double trouble tonight
Double trouble, double trouble tonight
Double trouble, double, double trouble tonight
Double trouble, double trouble tonight

Sometimes I pinch myself 'cause I don't know
Am I dreaming now? (You're not dreaming, no)
I wanna stop the clocks and hold you close (I hold you close)
But I don't know how

Hey baby, when you look at me
I know I'm in double trouble tonight
Hey baby, when you talk to me
I know I'm in double trouble tonight
Show me your love (oh-oh)
Give me your love (oh-oh)
How can something so wrong feel so right? (Oh-oh)
Straight from above (oh-oh), the whitest dove (oh-oh)
I'm in double trouble tonight

Double trouble tonight
Double trouble tonight
Double trouble, double, double trouble tonight
Double trouble, double trouble tonight




Double trouble, double, double trouble tonight
Double trouble, double trouble tonight

Overall Meaning

These lyrics are about the experience of falling in love, even though it may feel like it's not the right thing to do. The singer knows that the situation they are in is "double trouble," meaning it's risky or dangerous. However, they cannot help feeling drawn to the person they are singing to. The singer describes the feeling of being in love as something that is both "wrong" and "right" at the same time. The image of a "whitest dove" straight from above" suggests that the love they are experiencing is pure and good, but the fact that it's double trouble implies that there are complications or obstacles to be faced.


The chorus repeats the phrase "double trouble tonight" multiple times, emphasizing the danger or risk involved in this love. The second verse adds more detail to the singer's feelings, suggesting that they feel like they're dreaming or that time has stopped when they're with the person they love. The lyrics overall convey the sense that the singer is caught in a difficult situation, but they cannot resist the pull of love.
