Cat Stevens - Trouble Lyrics






Trouble
Oh trouble set me free
I have seen your face
And it's too much too much for me

Trouble
Oh trouble can't you see
You're eating my heart away
And there's nothing much left of me

I've drunk your wine
You have made your world mine
So won't you be fair
So won't you be fair

I don't want no more of you
So won't you be kind to me
Just let me go where
I'll have to go there

Trouble
Oh trouble move away
I have seen your face
and it's too much for me today

Trouble
Oh trouble can't you see
You have made me a wreck
Now won't you leave me in my misery

I've seen your eyes
and I can see death's disguise
Hangin' on me
Hangin' on me

I'm beat, I'm torn
Shattered and tossed and worn
Too shocking to see
Too shocking to see

Trouble
Oh trouble move from me
I have paid my debt
Now won't you leave me in my misery

Trouble
Oh trouble please be kind
I don't want no fight
And I haven't got a lot of time

    The man who didn’t let stardom overcome him, he always knew who he was. He promised god his life for his music, and kept his word. Not many would have. He never let anyone tell him what to do, he did what he knew was best.

    Harold and Maude Great Movie. I had a 20 plus affair with perfect 10 who years ago got into hard Drugs. Now after many non violent felonies and headed to prison soon, I let go. I think of him when I hear this song. A Beautiful person inside and out. I did not let go time and time again. Now my heart and mind won't let me take the trouble any longer.

  39. �.... �....

    It's must be the best song written about "Trouble" ever...

    This songs helps me cry and release my soft side,

  52. s.... d....

    Harold and Maude baby 💞

  53. R.... P....

    Wonderful Cat Stevens. Then he found Islam. Guess what? They took all his money. He tried a comeback but his Muslim ideals didn’t help. Cat, FFS why?

  54. H.... M....

    I've just run this 5 times. I remember this song when it came out. Have the album, remember Harold and Maude. But I never really thought about the lyrics all these years. I knew it was a sad song, but tonight, while I'm listening, I am connecting with the sadness and madness in my head as I deteriorate year by year. I pray daily for inner peace and for the 'trouble' to go away and leave me alone. Now the song and I are the same.

  55. L.... P....

    😢😢😢

  56. G.... R....

    Didn't he write this when he was dying of TB? He lived, but was really close to dying. I think he wrote this song on what he thought was his death bed. I could be wrong.

  57. B.... H....

    As my dad would say, good tune, good tune..

  58. H.... W....

    Made me cry when I first heard of it.

  59. M.... ....

    In 1969, suffering from a collapsed lung and TB, Cat Stevens was told he had only had a few weeks to live. He wrote some of his greatest songs including ‘Trouble’ stuck in a spartan hospital in Sussex. Riddled with pain and a sense of injustice, it ends abruptly and bleakly: ‘I don’t want no fight/And I haven’t got a lot of time.’ Stevens actually survived, lived through a near-drowning a few years later and eventually found peace in religion. But that doesn’t make ‘Trouble’ any less troubling.

  60. G.... W....

    This songs about depression.

  61. A.... T....

    I think he wrote the words and sang the song but something beyond cat stevens gave this to us. It just used the gift of a great man to touch everyone that hears it. I have sang this song more than i know and every time it drings tears to the eyes of all. love you Cat can't wait to see what you do next. peace and love alwase.

  62. a.... ....

    The first time any person listens -- I mean truly listens -- to this song, he or she will fall still and silent. As a young man of nearly 45 years ago sings the depth of his pain, you'll realize he's singing your pain, too. "Trouble" comes from a dark place but one which I believe nearly every one of us has visited and sometimes dwelled. It is a beautiful song, then, of universal misery.

  63. A.... C....

    John Frusciante was really inspired by Yusuf voice tone, there is no doubt.

  64. m.... ....

    *My all time favorite movie. I have several copies on several media. Timeless and brilliant.*

  65. M.... C....

    I am proud of the music our generation contributed to the world. Thinking, feeling, grooving, love or war, it will never stop being a huge part of our lives...bravo Cat

  66. N.... B....

    An incredibly beautiful song. Poetry and musicianship in the five-star column. Cat Stevens had so many fantastic songs on consecutive albums. Now I know this one... finally.

  67. G.... H....

    Hey cat next time you are ready to die let me know maybe we can come up with something equal kinda doubt it but maybe. 😎

  68. G.... H....

    In the throws of death like Mozart? 😎

  69. G.... H....

    When cat was still a cat...😎

  70. G.... B....

    Just clicked on a clip of Lindsey Buckingham performing "Trouble". Same title, different songs. Lindsey Buckingham brought me here. THIS is "Trouble", the other is not.

  71. n.... w....

    One of my favourite Cat songs. I remember buying the vinyl back in 1972. Thanks for sharing. Please check out the song " Don't forget to breathe ". Thanks.https://youtu.be/e9h_xqbVT-Q

  72. M.... G....

    Pasan los años y sigo escuchandote...sintiendo la música en cada parte de mi ser, igual que hace veinte años....

  73. W.... N....

    my dad would play this as a kid

    W.... N....

    ahh I've seen your face and it's too much for me

  74. T.... S....

    This song is my life

  75. S.... A....

    Powerful stuff. 😢

  76. S.... n....

    I lv harold!!!

  77. R.... K....

    :( : ( :(

  78. P.... S....

    One actor said of director Hal Hartly that "he looked like he couldn't tie his own shoelaces, yet he could convince producers to give him millions to fund his crazy ideas." More importantly, however, the guy was clearly a genius.

  79. G.... P....

    Probably my favorite vocalist of all time. His transitions from falsetto to chest voice are seamless. His phrasing has so much nuance and his full-on voice ("I have seen your eyes") has a rasp that sends chills up my neck.

  80. G.... H....

    Elizabeth Hartman brought me here and left. 😭

  81. A.... A....

    So deep

  82. S.... K....

    Harold and Maude ❤️

  83. M.... G....

    Best song .....hands down my Favorite artist in the whole of my life.....

    M.... G....

    Mandie,I have loved this man for many many years,but if you get time Please listen to Amos Lee,Ease Back,best wishes from Scotland.

  84. K.... J....

    Many thanks for this caring, very kind of you !!!

  85. j.... ....

    Rockin in 2018 ( frm ELLIOTT SMITH)

  86. s.... d....

    What a great song an Evan better movie 💕thought me a valuable lesson

  87. A.... H....

    How can 120 people give this a thumbs down-great movie and a great song

  88. D.... C....

    Listening to Cat Stevens' work from the early 70s, you can really hear that he was troubled, searching more deeply than most. His ultimate embrace of Islam was unfortunate. I remember when it happened. At the time I knew so little about Mohammad, it almost sounded appealing. Now after a lifetime of study of history and religion, I can see how despicable he was to have capitulated to this noxious cult/ideology. It was tragic.

    D.... C....

    David Carpenter Christianity aint filled with dove love either. And athiest too

  89. T.... H....

    ' people who are this ,but allow themselves to be treated as that '

  90. M.... W....

    The best album of Cat Stevens

  91. I.... N....

    My rescue.

  92. M.... T....

    THESE SONGS REMIND ME OF BEING A YOUNG BOY WITH NO WORRIES AND SPENDING TIME WITH MY FAMILY AND LOUNGING IN THE SUN WITH FRIENDS.
    LATER PLAYING KNOCKING ON DOORS AND RUNNING WITH FRIENDS 😆😆😆

  93. T.... S....

    Relate so much to this song.. Harold and maude <3

  94. s.... ....

    Harold and Maude is only a good movie if you understand Maude is a horrible villain and Harold must learn to do without her and what she represents.

  95. E.... M....

    good movie but i think she could have taught him without the sex

  96. S.... ....

    soulful ballad. very moving!
