Don't You Worry About Me
Eighty Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Time is over let me free
Flying in to the sky
Maybe I should know why
Dreams are not so far behind
Don't you worry about me
I will go where life leads me
I will be so strong
And still the days go on and on
Don't you worry about me
You will never find a girl like me
There is no one else
No matter what you search
What you'll get will be a mess
do I do I do I do
do I do I do I baby don't you think it's true
Don't you worry about me
Time is over let me free
Flying in to the sky
Maybe I should know why
Dreams are not so far behind
Don't you worry about me
I can run in NY's streets
Singing in to the sun
Laughts and smile enough
Drink something like a superstar
do I do I do I do
do I do I do I baby don't you think it's true
If there is a way
I'll find it someday
I start to play, a a a a
If there is a way
To make me sway
do I do I do I do
do I do I do I baby don't you think it's true
