Late one night I heard a knock on my door
No surprise, it was my landlord
He notified me, I was late with the rent
So what can you do when your last dollar's spent
You got trouble, some kind of trouble
I called up my baby for a little advice
'Cause my sugar baby always treats me so nice
I had a funny feelin' that he wasn't alone
When I heard another voice whisper hang up the phone
I got trouble, some kind of trouble
Trouble in my heart Trouble in my mind
There's never any trouble for me to find
Some kind of trouble Some kind of trouble
I went to my boss, said I need a little time
To work on this poor broken heart of mine
He said, I'd like to help you girl, I been there before
But the problem is gal, you don't work here no more
You got trouble, some kind of trouble
Trouble in my heart Trouble in my mind
There's never any trouble for me to find
Some kind of trouble Some kind of trouble
I was down about as low as a body can be
So I talked to my preacher 'bout prayin' for me
He smiled and he said, "Child you're not alone"
Cause all God's children got to deal with their own
kind of trouble some kind of trouble
Trouble in my heart Trouble in my mind
There's never any trouble for me to find
Some kind of trouble
