If You've Got Trouble
The Beatles · Anthology (Part 2) [1996]
Then you've got less trouble than me
You say you're worried
You can't be as worried as me
You're quite contend to be bad
With all the advantage you've 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 diamond 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've got less trouble than me
You say you're worried
You can't be as worried as me
You're quite contend to be bad
With all the advantage you've 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've got less trouble than me
You say you're worried
You can't be as worried as me
You're quite contend to be bad
With all the advantage you've 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
Released as part of The Beatles' Anthology (Part 2) collection, this track represents a rare studio recording featuring the band's full lineup. The song showcases the group's ability to blend upbeat pop structures with a reflective, almost conversational tone in the verses. It stands as a testament to their late-period songwriting, where they explored themes of personal struggle and resilience without resorting to heavy distortion. The recording captures the band's dynamic interplay, highlighting George Harrison's melodic contributions and John Lennon's characteristic vocal delivery. As a studio cut rather than a live performance, it offers a pristine example of their musical craftsmanship during the mid-to-late 1970s era, appealing to fans who appreciate their versatility beyond rock anthems.
