If you've got trouble,
Then you've got less trouble than me.
You say you're worried,
You can't be as worried as me (Oh oh).
You're quite contend to be bad,
With all the advantage you had over me.
Just cause you're troubled,
Then don't bring your troubles to me.
I don't think it's funny,
When you ask for money and things.
Especially when you're standing there,
Wearing diamond and rings (Oh oh).
You think I'm soft in the head,
Well try someone softer instead, pretty thing.
It's not so funny,
When you know what money can bring.
BRIDGE 1:
You better leave me alone,
I don't need a thing from you.
You better take yourself home,
Go and count a ring or two.
If you've got trouble,
Then you've got less trouble than me.
You say you're worried,
You can't be as worried as me.
You're quite contend to be bad,
With all the advantage you had over me.
Just cause you're troubled,
Then don't bring your troubles to me.
N..
(Ah rock on, anybody.).
:: INSTRUMENTAL :: (Lead over)
BRIDGE 2:
You better leave me alone,
I don't need a thing from you.
You better take yourself home,
Go and count a ring or two.
If you've got trouble,
Then you got less trouble than me.
You say you're worried,
You can't be as worried as me (Oh oh).
You're quite contend to be bad,
With all the advantage you had over me.
Just 'cause you're troubleD,
And don't bring your troubles to me.
Just 'cause you're troubled,
Then don't bring your troubles to me.

NOTES.
1. "...Music critic Ian MacDonald said the song was "the only unmitigated disaster in the Lennon-McCartney
catalogue", and criticised its lyrics and melody. Beatles' historian Mark Lewisohn agreed, saying it
was "not one of the better Lennon-McCartney numbers ... nor was it brilliantly performed."
George Harrison himself stated that "it's the most weird song. [...]
It's got stupid words and is the naffest song. No wonder it didn't make it onto anything."..."

2. "...That the song wasn't working as planned can be heard in Ringo's desperate call before the
guitar solo: "Ah, rock on - anybody!" If You've Got Trouble was eventually replaced on the 'Help!'
album by Act Naturally, recorded four months later. ..."
