Trouble Lyrics

[Chorus: Jennifer Hudson]
Don't you come here thinkin' you're ballin' (Oh, nah)
Ain't down for it, you seem like trouble to me

I can tell by the way that you lean and the way that you kiss your teeth
And you turn up so fresh and clean, smells like trouble to me

[Verse 3: Iggy Azalea]
I got it bad for him in the worst way
Dear Lord, how'd I get in this position and
I shoulda have never got involved in the first place
But second place never get the recognition, hmm

See what he doin' to me make have to shout it out
Got a hold on me, that's without a doubt
So clear now that he's a trouble starter
But I ain't a saint either and these ain't no still waters


[Bridge 1: Jennifer Hudson]
Just 'cause all the girls are fallin' at your feet
(Don't mean no thing to me)
'Til you show me where it's at
Smells like trouble to me
Just 'cause all the girls are fallin' at your feet
(Don't mean no thing to me)
'Til you show me where it's at
Smells like trouble to me
[Bridge 2: Iggy Azalea & Jennifer Hudson]
I shoulda known you were bad news
Ooh, ooh, ooh (Oh, yeah), knew you were bad news (Knew you were bad)
From the bad boy demeanour and the tattoos
Ooh, ooh, ooh, all of the tattoos (I should know)
I shoulda known you were bad news
Ooh, ooh, ooh (Oh, yeah), knew you were bad news (Ah, yeah)
But I'm undecided tryna figure out if that's you
Ooh, ooh, ooh (Oh), trouble to me

[Chorus: Jennifer Hudson]
Don't you come here thinkin' you're ballin' (Oh, nah)
Ain't down for it (Ooh, ooh, ooh), you seem like trouble to me
I can tell by the way that you lean and the way that you kiss your teeth
And you turn up so fresh and clean, smells like trouble to me

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 [?]

What did Iggy Azalea say about "Trouble"?
Genius Answer

“It kind of has a doo-wop feel,” Iggy said while talking the song, also mentioning her desire to do something different from her musical style and being excited about performing it; “It’s kind of something you’d picture Aretha Franklin singing.”

Jennifer was “surprised” when she found out that Iggy wanted to collaborate with her again and told Billboard that “working with her was interesting because it was a different way to see an artist work.”

“[Iggy] is so creative. She actually directed the video and wrote the treatments. I was like, ‘hmm, maybe I need to do that.’ I got to see another artist work up closely and see her creativity, which inspired my creativity as well. I don’t think I’ve ever worked on a video with the artist being the director.”
- Jennifer Hudson
