[ backing vocals: Jevetta Steele ] 

Trouble me, disturb me with all your cares and
you worries. 
Trouble me on the days when you feel spent. 
Why let your shoulders bend underneath this
burden when my back is sturdy and strong? 
Trouble me. 

Speak to me, don`t mislead me, the calm I feel
means a storm is swelling; 
there`s no telling where it starts or how it
ends. 
Speak to me, why are you building this thick
brick wall to defend me when your silence is my
greatest fear? 
Why let your shoulders bend underneath this
burden when my back is sturdy and strong? 
Speak to me. 

Let me have a look inside these eyes while I`m
learning. 
Please don`t hide them just because of tears. 
Let me send you off to sleep with a "There,
there, now stop your turning and tossing." 
Let me know where the hurt is and how to heal. 

Spare me? Don`t spare me anything troubling. 
Trouble me, disturb me with all your cares and
you worries. 
Speak to me and let our words build a shelter
from the storm. 
Lastly, let me know what I can mend. 
There`s more, honestly, than my sweet friend, you
can see. 
Trust is what I`m offering if you trouble me.
