If You've Got Trouble

Release date: 18 March 1996

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

You're quite content to be bad
With all the advantage you had over me
Just cause your trouble
And 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 diamonds and rings

You think I'm soft in the head
Well try someone softer instead anything
It's not so funny
When you know what money can bring

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

You're quite content to be bad
With all the advantage you had over me
Just cause your trouble
And don't bring your troubles to me
Ah rock on, anybody

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

You're quite content to be bad
With all the advantage you had over me
Just cause your trouble
And don't bring your troubles to me
Just cause your trouble
And don't bring your troubles to me

"If You've Got Trouble" is a song written by Lennon-McCartney and recorded by the Beatles on 18 February 1965 with Ringo Starr singing the lead vocal. The song was intended to be Starr's vocal appearance on the Help! album and the Help! film, but the Beatles were not happy with the recording and later chose "Act Naturally" (which is not in the film) instead. "If You've Got Trouble" remained unreleased until Anthology 2 in 1996.
