Don't tell me your troubles
I got troubles of my own
Don't tell me your troubles
Just leave me alone

Leave me alone
Go on home
Tell it to a friend
I got troubles of my own

You say your sweet love's left you
Well what d'you think about me
I got those same old heartaches
The same old misery

Leave me alone
Go on home
Tell it to a friend
I got troubles of my own
Troubles of my own

Instrumental Break

It happens to the best of us
That's what they always say
So take it boy, like a man
And don't stand in my way-ay-ay-ay

You tell that's she's a no-good
She's as mean as she can be
It's written all over your lonesome face
Any heartbrake fool can see

Leave me alone
Go on home
Tell it to a friend
I got troubles of my own
Troubles of my own
