Trouble

I was sittin on the sofa
Heard the telephone ringing
It was my younger sister
Calling in from Oberlin
She said "I'm trying hard in college
But I'm doing really bad
I gotta figure out a way to break it to mom and dad"

I said "If you think you've got trouble
And I don't doubt you do
You take what you've got
And make mine double
Yeah, 'cause I got a man
He's one of a kind
He's got every girl in town
Just a-waitin’ in line
It my be long but I hear him lyin’
I’ve got a feeling it's a matter of time
But if you think you've got trouble
Take a good long look at mine!”

Let’s just put this whole thing in perspective
If you could walk a mile in both my shoes
Oh the law would be much tougher than expected
‘Cause I got a man who’s just too good to lose

The smoke had finally cleared
I was sittin in bed
An hour and a half with “Gone with the Wind”
The Yankees were a-comin’ and the south was gonna fall
And Arizona’s calling in the middle of it all

I said "if you think you've got trouble
And I don't doubt you do
You take what you've got
And make mine double
Yeah, 'cause I got a man
Who’s one of a kind
He's got every girl in town
Just a-waitin’ in line
It my be long but I hear him lyin’
I’ve got a feelin’ it's a matter of time
But if you think you've got trouble
Take a good long look at mine!”

Oh if you think you’ve got trouble
Take a good long look at mine!

If you think you’ve got trouble
If you think you’ve got trouble
Oh you ain’t heard nothing yet
If you think you’ve got trouble yeah
If you think you’ve got trouble
That’s right
