Don’t Tell Me Your Troubles Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Don't tell me your troubles
I've got troubles of my own
Don't tell me your troubles
Just leave me alone

[Chorus]
Leave me alone
Go on home
Tell it to your friend
I've got troubles of my own

[Verse 2]
Say your sweetheart left you
Well what you think about me
You got the same old heartaches
And them same old miseries

[Chorus]
Leave me alone
Go on home
Tell it to your friend
I've got troubles of my own

[Bridge]
Well it happens to the best of us
Well, that's what they say
So take it boy, like a man
Don't stand in my way
[Verse 3]
You tell me that she's no good
She's as mean as she can be
It's written all over your lonesome face
Any heartbreak fool can see

[Chorus]
Leave me alone
Go on home
Tell it to your friend
I've got troubles of my own
Troubles of my own

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
Well it happens to the best of us
Well, that's what they say
So take it boy, like a man
Don't stand in my way

[Verse 4]
You tell me that she's no good
She's as mean as she can be
It's written all over your lonesome face
Any heartbreak fool can see
[Outro]
Leave me alone
Go on home
Tell it to your friend
I've got troubles of my own
Troubles of my own
Leave me alone
Go on home
Tell it to your friend
I've got troubles of my own
Troubles of my own
Troubles of my own

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
