Lyrics for World Of Trouble
I'm in the world of trouble Don't know what to do I'm supposed to be a one-woman man But I'm in love with two One is my treasure One is my tree Both is such a pleasure Because they are both so sweet I can't put it up and down That's why I'm sleeping around living double And the world of trouble Yes, it's a world of trouble that I inhabit now 'Cause I've got one more woman than the legal law allows Justice will jail me, preachers would shout Bad talk would nail me If the truth ever got out, society would crown Claim I'm just a clown living double In the world of trouble I do not dare reveal the need that I deeply feel To my proper friend that would scam Yes, they would chock it up the grit But what I deep beneath is the new kind of two-woman era Yes, I've got a world of trouble I've got a woman and a wife Now, that's the kind of situation That would 'cause someone to lose their lives But I'm gonna bury it as long as I can Because I don't wanna share it with no other man My futures and above I'm such a dirty dog living double In the world of trouble
