[Verse 1]
When I was just a boy, my Papa said to me
"Son, if you want the best, well, the best don't come for free
And if you find the One, the One to make your Queen
You better be ready be ready, yeah, to be a King
No crown upon your head can make you into a man
You've got to do the very best every day, best you can and
It's my advice to you", sometimes the truth it hurts
Everything worth keeping, yeah, takes a lot of work and
[Chorus]
I've been trippin' on you, girl, yes, I have
You've been trippin' on me, we gonna work it on out
I've been trippin' on you, girl, yes, I have
You've been trippin' on me, we gonna work it on out
[Verse 2]
And like you always say, our love is like the tide
Sometimes it's in and full, sometimes it is out and dry
But we keep the faith, it will come in again
But then it goes back out because that's the way it's always been and
Every bed of roses, yeah, has its thorns
Something, something throwing sticks and stones
Tell me, girl, what the hell we're fighting about?
Something, something gonna work it on out, on out, on out (Unclear on this one)
We gonna work it on out
[Chorus]
I've been trippin' on you, girl, yes, I have
You've been trippin' on me, we gonna work it on out
I've been trippin' on you, girl, yes, I have
You've been trippin' on me, we gonna work it on out, yeah, out, yeah, out, yeah
[Bridge]
We gonna work it on out, yeah, out, yeah, out, yeah
We gonna work it on out
Work it out
Work it out
[Chorus]
I've been trippin' on you, girl, yes, I have
You've been trippin' on me, we gonna work it on out
I've been trippin' on you, girl, yes, I have
You've been trippin' on me, we gonna work it on out
Trippin On You was written by John Butler.

This song is about relationships, work and internal narratives. I’m struck that ALL good things in my life need work to maintain their goodness. Mental health, marriage, business relationships, a garden, a clean room, trust and reliability etc. They all need us to turn up. They all deserve our best...
