Don't You Worry
Derrick And Patsy Lyrics

The lyrics to Derrick And Patsy's song "Don't you Worry" speak of a lover's frustration and concern as their partner becomes increasingly preoccupied with social life and less attentive to their relationship. The verse "You don't hear a word that I tell you, and I can see you no longer care for me" is particularly poignant, as it conveys a sense of longing and lost connection, as well as the futility of trying to communicate with someone who is not receptive.

The chorus repeats the theme of the lover's attempts to communicate falling on deaf ears, with the lines "You don't hear a word that I'm sayin', may as well be talkin' to the ceilin'". The singer expresses a desire for their partner to understand the depth of their love, but seems resigned to the fact that their words will not be heard. The final line of the song, "I talk to you all the time but you don't hear", reinforces this sense of unfulfilled communication and emotional distance.

The song's simple yet heartfelt lyrics are complemented by a catchy ska beat and soulful vocals from Derrick Morgan and Patsy Millington. The combination of ska and soul was a popular subgenre in Jamaica in the 1960s, and "Don't you Worry" is an excellent example of this fusion. The song's upbeat tempo and sing-along chorus helped make it a hit on the Jamaican music scene, and it has since become a ska classic.
