He went to all that trouble for nothin' I hear them say
It's too bad that things turned out for him that way
You took my love and turned around and made me blue
I went to all that trouble for nothin' for you
I turned my back on the girl I thought that she was mine
I gave up my friends and now it seems I'm givin' up my mind
I did everything you wanted me to do I went to all that trouble for nothin' for you
I hear the whistle blow the train will soon be here
And just for it takes me I've got more cause to care
To face my friends is something I just can't do
I went to all that trouble for nothin' for you
I went to all that trouble for nothin' for you
