Worry About Me
Ellie Goulding Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You can worry 'bout this
You can worry 'bout that
You can worry 'bout she
You can worry 'bout this
You can worry 'bout that
You can worry 'bout she

Baby, you don't gotta, you don't gotta worry, worry 'bout me
Lately, I don't think, I don't think about you, feelin' so free
Been jumpin' through hoops to get under you, but now I'm cool
Baby, you don't gotta, you don't gotta worry, worry 'bout me

Been havin' good times
Been havin' late nights, yeah
And then you call me (call me)
Ask if I'm alright, what the hell?
Sayin' that you care about me
But you just wanna be in my head 'cause you're lonely
I thought I needed you to feel safe
But now that I've been through it, I'm stuck in a good place
Ooh, why you tryna put me in a different mood?
Just because I'm still not seein' someone new

Baby, you don't gotta, you don't gotta worry, worry 'bout me
Lately, I don't think, I don't think about you, feelin' so free
Been jumpin' through hoops to get under you, but now I'm cool
Baby, you don't gotta, you don't gotta worry, worry 'bout me

You can worry 'bout this
You can worry 'bout that
You can worry 'bout she
Don't worry 'bout me
You can worry 'bout this (yeah, yeah)
You can worry 'bout that (uh-uh)
You can worry 'bout she (beartrap)
Don't worry 'bout me

She said, "Why you gotta hit me on some I don't know shit"
I am not your property, who led you to that notion?
Actions speakin' louder than whatever you been smokin'
You don't gotta try and fix somebody that ain't broken, no
And you don't gotta worry where I'm at or where I'm goin' (goin')
Somewhere by my lonesome (lonesome)
Somewhere by the ocean (ocean)
She can't feel her nose, lips
Oh, shit, the way you kill my vibe is so atrocious, it's bogus
I blocked you 'cause I don't live in the past, live in the moment
Last time that you hit me up, I wrote this

Baby, you don't gotta, you don't gotta worry, worry 'bout me (ooh, yeah)
Lately (lately), I don't think, I don't think about you, feelin' so free
Been jumpin' through hoops to get under you, but now I'm cool
Baby, you don't gotta, you don't gotta worry, worry 'bout me

You can worry 'bout this
You can worry 'bout that
You can worry 'bout she
Don't worry 'bout me
You can worry 'bout this
You can worry 'bout that
You can worry 'bout she
Don't worry 'bout me

Yo foreal !! Who thought mr hen would finally start featuring in other songs!? His chirp is too wild to not share with the world . Collabing with Artists obviously on a lower level then him but u can't expect anyone to have the ability to top that chirp! I see his squawk is back too. Was getting sick of Gucci with the adlibs. Bout time Mr hen was back on the scene . Think he might have been locked up for plotting against the other hens in the coop heard that big hen with the mole under his lip is a informant . Well never know where he disappeared to but it's good to see him back

The day this video was released was the day my daughter was born. I’ll never forget it. Now we sing to it! This song and “Clover Cage - Warr Is Only Won With Love” are the two songs keeping me sane through these tough times. I just want to send love to everyone and I want everyone to know things will get better. We are in this together..I love you ❤️
