For the love of a woman, well, many a man
Has wound up cryin', tryin' to understand
I've had my share of heartache and pain
I'm not worried now, I'm not ashamedMy first time lover I was just seventeen
We made love and I was lost in a dream
She said that nothin' would ever go wrong
I woke up one mornin' guess what? She was goneAh ah ah ah ah ah ah
Love ain't nothin' but trouble
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Love ain't nothin' but troubleSo many nights I spent alone
Just me and that damn telephone
Holdin' for love but waiting in vain
The same old feelin' and it's drivin' me insaneAh ah ah ah ah ah ah
Love ain't nothin' but trouble
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Love ain't nothin' but troubleFor the love of a woman, I searched high and low
Hopin' that someday I'd be troubled no more
I guess I was wrong in so many ways
Now I'll be in trouble for the rest of my daysAh ah ah ah ah ah ah
Love ain't nothin' but trouble
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Love ain't nothin' but troubleAh ah ah ah ah ah ah
Love ain't nothin' but trouble
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Love ain't nothin' but trouble, troubleNothin' but trouble, nothin' but troubleAh ah ah ah ah ah ah
Love ain't nothin' but trouble
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Love ain't nothin' but trouble, yeahAh ah ah ah ah ah ah
Love ain't nothin' but trouble
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Love ain't nothin' but trouble
