From the recording Night Bloom
Lyrics
If I could turn back the hands of time and had one more chance with you
It’d probably be a second-rate romance or a one-night rendezvous
Now it’s too late to make you happy, baby I never could
And all this company I keep isn’t doing me a bit a good
Every man knockin’ on my front door is just lookin’ for a place to hide
It’s no wonder I have givin’ up
I got troubles on my mind
To hear you tell it, it was clean and easy. I went left and you went right
It’s nice to see ya keepin’ it sleazy, it wasn’t just black and white
There is a long trail of tears that I have left behind
If you look closely you will see they lead back to the scene of the crime
And every rainbow and pot of gold disappeared before my eyes
It’s no wonder I have givin’ up
I got troubles on my mind
Every cloud has a silver lining, but first it has to rain
Forty days and forty nights to wash away the pain
I can see the shape I’m in, trust me honey I’m not blind
It’s easier to be cruel to myself than to be kind
Every man that I ever loved was never satisfied
It’s no wonder I have givin’ up
I got troubles on my mind
It’s no wonder I have givin’ up
I got troubles on my mind
Ya-ya, ya-ya-ya, troubles on my mind
