Discover the story of the song > Trouble – Keith Richards

The protagonist is telling his partner that even though she keeps getting into trouble and ending up in jail, he still cares about her and considers her a friend. He acknowledges that trouble seems to come naturally to her and that's just the way she is. Even though he can't see her anymore, he still thinks about her and would help her if he could, but he knows it probably wouldn't make a difference. The chorus repeats that her middle name is trouble and that's just how she plays the game.
