Don't Worry
Billy Fury & The Four Kestrels Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You don't know my love is real
If I tell you, you might say
That I should not feel this way
Maybe you don't care
Baby, that's what I fear
You don't worry like I do
You don't know my love is true
Just how much I really feel
Maybe you don't care
Baby, that's what I fear
You don't know the way I feel
You don't know my love is real You
Don't know the joy you bring
You make my poor heart sing
You don't know, you don't know
Oh oh, you don't know
The song "Don't Worry" by Billy Fury & The Four Kestrels expresses the fear and uncertainty that one may feel when confessing their love. The lyrics suggest that the person the singer is addressing does not know the depth of their love and may not feel the same way. The singer expresses a fear of rejection, worrying that the person they love may not care about them in the same way. The repetition of "you don't know" emphasizes the uncertainty and frustration the singer feels in their situation.
The lyrics also reflect the cultural norms of the time, in which expressing one's emotions was often considered taboo, particularly for men. The fear of rejection and vulnerability captured in the song was a common experience for many, especially in the context of romantic relationships.
