Verse 1:
Trouble seems to like your style,
and you're feelin' all alone.
At your last resort they had to leave for awhile
"Leave your name at the sound of the tone."
It seems the world up and moved away
and all that stayed was fear and doubt
They came lookin' for trouble and decided to stay
now you're lookin' for a way to check out.

Chorus:
Take it to Jesus; He knows, He feels, He cares.
And no one does it better
when your life's in need of repair.
Take it to Jesus!
What a comfort to know your Friend
is always there!

Verse 2:
Old memories in the middle of the night
chase the sleep out of your eyes
The room is dark and as you fiddle with the light,
you break down and start to cry.
Some bitter, painful, past mistakes
have been haunting you again,
and conjuring up the image
of the fool that it takes
to think that you could ever win
(chorus)
