Trouble Man

Marvin Gaye

I've come of heart, baby, but now I'm cool

I didn't make it surely, playin' by the rules

I've come of heart, baby, but now I'm fine

I'm checkin' trouble, sure movin' down the line

I've come of heart, baby, but that's OK

'Cause Trouble Man don't get in my way



I've come of heart, baby

I've been for real, baby

Gonna keep movin', gonna roll to town

I've come of heart, come on, get down

There's only 3 things for sure:

Taxes, death and trouble



This I know, baby, this I know, child

Yeah, let the sweat through you, baby

Get me singin', yeah, yeah, ooo



I've come of heart, baby, I had to fight

Took him on madness with all my might

I've come of heart, I had to win

Then start all over and then again

I've come of heart, but that's OK

'Cause Trouble Man don't get in my way



I've heard some places and I've seen some places

I've never had tensions, I give my directions

When people say; that's OK, they don't bother me

I'm ready to make it, don't care 'bout the weather

Don't care 'bout no trouble, got myself together

No laughin', no cryin', protection's all around me



I've come of heart, baby

I've been for real, baby

With the Trouble Man

Movin', goin' tight

I've come of heart, come on, get down

There's only 3 things for sure:

Taxes, death and trouble



This I know, baby, baby

This I know, baby, baby

Hey now, let it sweat, baby



I've come of heart, but now I'm cool

I didn't make it, baby, playin' by the rules

I've come of heart, baby, but now I'm fine

I'm checkin' trouble, sure movin' down the line
