Oh trouble can't you see
You have made me a wreck
Now won't you leave me in my misery
2. Marvin Gaye (1972) "Troubled Man" by Marvin Gaye

There's only three things that's for sure
Taxes, death and trouble, oh
This I know, baby, this I know
Ain't gonna let it sweat me
I've come up hard, but that's okay
I didn't make it, baby, playin' by the rules
3. Souther Hillman Furay Band (1975) "Trouble in Paradise" by John David Souther

Some other morning you go back to school
As if nothing has changed
Well, there's no use playin' if you're winning
At a losin' game
There's trouble in paradise
You're payin' for everything twice
4. Lindsey Buckingham (1981) "Trouble" by Lindsey Buckingham

I really should be saying goodnight
I really shouldn't stay anymore
It's been so long since I held ya
I've forgotten what love is for
I think I'm in trouble
5. Coldplay (2000) "Trouble" by Martin / Berryman / Buckland / Champion

Oh, no, what's this?
A spider web, and I'm caught in the middle
So I turned to run
The thought of all the stupid things I've done
And I, I never meant to cause you trouble
6. Alicia Keys (2001) "Troubles" by Alicia Keys and Kerry Brothers
[YouTube]
Why does it feel that my mind is constantly trying to pull me down?
I can't seem to get away
Continuous mistakes I know I've made before
How long will I feel so out of place?
If you're troubled, you've just gotta let it go
7. Ray LaMontagne (2004) "Trouble" by Montagne

Trouble
Trouble, trouble, trouble
Trouble been doggin' my soul since the day I was born
Worry
Worry, worry, worry
Worry just will not seem to leave my mind alone
8. Leona Lewis (2012) "Trouble" by Lewis et al.

I told you never to get used to me
I stay awake when you fall asleep
I'm a whole lot of trouble
We're in a whole lot of trouble
9. Imagine Dragons (2014) "Trouble" by Mckee / Reynolds / Sermon / Platzman

So pray for me, brother, I need redemption
I'm just a man, a man on a mission
I want no trouble, I want no trouble
10. Cage the Elephant (2014) "Trouble" by Shultz / Auerbach / Tichenor / Champion / Shultz
[YouTube]
We were at the table by the window with the view
Casting shadows, the sun was pushing through
Spoke a lot of words, I don't know if I spoke the truth
Got so much to lose, got so much to prove
God, don't let me lose my mind
Trouble on my left, trouble on my right
I've been facing trouble almost all my life
11. LeAnn Rimes (2002) "Trouble with Goodbye" by Amato / Cantor / Peiken

Wish I could be so free
Yeah they take it so casually
Oh but baby that's just not me
Cause I've got, I got trouble, babe
Don't want to say the words
Don't want to say goodbye
12. Dan & Shay (2023) "Save Me the Trouble" by Gorley / Smyers / Mooney / Robbins / Reynolds

Why don't you save me the trouble
Keep those pretty blue eyes to yourself
Why don't you save me the trouble
Give that heartache to somebody else
13. Mother Coldplay (2024) "Trouble" The Mother Road Version
Oh, no, what's this?
A spider web, and I'm caught in the middle
How could this be?
It's my design, it's really not a riddle
Friday the 13th. An appropriate day to post 'A Bakers Dozen' of songs about Trouble.
