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

Listening to this song. My birthday present to myself tonight. Saying goodbye to a sad past that I would rather forget about.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOjfRhcG9oEits the same guy???
that's him!!!!!!!!!! omfg best version of this song!!!
Windshield wipers on a rain dripped Jaguar.
It was customary in the 70's for teens to see this movie in the theater as many times as you possibly could. I lost track at about 26.
Maybe the saddest song ever written, except maybe John Lennon, jealous guy. And Bruce Springsteen's. The River.😢😭
Unbelievable musical genius Unforgettable I listen to him in the 80s you got me through a lot of bad times thank you cat
Why do i always cry when i listen to this?
...I've drunk your wine... You have made your world mine...So won't you be fair... So won't you be fair....
Elliott Smith did a sweet cover version of this great song...
This is most beautiful song ❤️ healing and growing is an undescribable feeling
Enjoy! Very good music and know your music and like and share! Perfect Music! And know you!
I love covering this one. I love him.
How do get through the entire song w/o crying.?
@Kevin Crawford I put my heart into it. I feel it! I've choked up before. The recording is perfect to me. Everything about it.
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.
So trouble left him alone? What do u think ??
very nice song
makes me cry ... I had so much trouble
Why are white people always talking about their funerals? Its fuckin weird.
Wonderful movie, stands the test of time and still holds up to this day.
Dear Grammarly: I get it, you can help me with my horrible writing. Awesome, thanks. Now fuck off.
I’ve had to deal with losing someone I thought could be my Maude. It hurts so much, but I have to go on and love some more until I find my perfect sunflower
A Million little things brought me here. 😿😻
As a 14yr old I listened to this and I thought this is about me I had a few things going on that I thought my world was over a brickwall in front of me now im 63 and I still think this is my song masterclass
Best film and soundtrack ever!
Probably the best song ever written about Mankind's common problem '' Trouble" 😄
McAfee sent me
Thank you for uploading this!!!! I love this tune!!
A deep, deep guy
It's just not the same without the. XKE
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.
It's must be the best song written about "Trouble" ever...
I found this through Widespread Panic.
Awesome movie Malcolm McCall look alike from clockwork Orange excuse spelling ok
The way cat's voice changes and the dynamics of the instruments rise is just perfect, alongside beautiful lyrics and music. Great song
Trouble, been feeling it deep. I won't blame no one but me. Isn't knowing it all grand. What you don't know, won't kill you. I wish i had my ignorance back. Bliss.
reminds of a diff time & place!!! <3 <3
I'm 28 now, my teacher showed us this film on an off day in 11th grade. It's been a great life lesson through tough times. Thank you Mr. Ford.
This song still brings tears to my eyes....45 years after first hearing it.
Seriously, I can’t even front, the comment below me says it all........beautiful movie, beautiful quote....
Precious Eddie Vedder brought me here :))))) I cant stop to listen it for about a year. Love love love love love love
When my son was a baby this was one of my go to songs to sing him...I woke up missing him something terribly today and needed to hear this before I go to sleep tonight... I miss you baby... he's only an hour away staying with friends while my husband goes through cancer treatments but, it sure feels like a million miles.
Trouble. has NEVER BEEN kind to me.
Just more and more,and now the weight of it all is crushing me..
But I guess I will just get up tomorrow and take another fucking load and just pile it on top of the rest of the TROUBLE PILE . I DO LOVE CAT STEVEN'S ,ALWAYS HAVE ALWAYS WILL .
THANKS FRIENDS AND KEEP ON ROCKIN FRIENDS KELLY J
This songs helps me cry and release my soft side,
Harold and Maude baby 💞
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?
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.
😢😢😢
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.
As my dad would say, good tune, good tune..
Made me cry when I first heard of it.
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.
This songs about depression.
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.
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.
John Frusciante was really inspired by Yusuf voice tone, there is no doubt.
*My all time favorite movie. I have several copies on several media. Timeless and brilliant.*
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
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.
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. 😎
In the throws of death like Mozart? 😎
When cat was still a cat...😎
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.
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
Pasan los años y sigo escuchandote...sintiendo la música en cada parte de mi ser, igual que hace veinte años....
my dad would play this as a kid
ahh I've seen your face and it's too much for me
This song is my life
Powerful stuff. 😢
I lv harold!!!
:( : ( :(
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.
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.
Elizabeth Hartman brought me here and left. 😭
So deep
Harold and Maude ❤️
Best song .....hands down my Favorite artist in the whole of my life.....
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.
Many thanks for this caring, very kind of you !!!
Rockin in 2018 ( frm ELLIOTT SMITH)
What a great song an Evan better movie 💕thought me a valuable lesson
How can 120 people give this a thumbs down-great movie and a great song
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.
David Carpenter Christianity aint filled with dove love either. And athiest too
' people who are this ,but allow themselves to be treated as that '
The best album of Cat Stevens
My rescue.
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 😆😆😆
Relate so much to this song.. Harold and maude <3
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.
good movie but i think she could have taught him without the sex
soulful ballad. very moving!
