Don't Worry
Harry James Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't worry 'bout me
I'll get along
Forget about me
Just be happy my love

Let's say that our little show is over
And so the story ends
Why not call it a day the sensible way
And still be friends

Look out for yourself
That should be the rule
Give your heart and your love
To whomever you love
Darlin' don't be a fool

Why do we cling to this old faded thing
That used to be
So if you can forget
Then don't worry 'bout me

Why should we cling to some old faded thing
That used to be




So if you can forget
Then you don't worry 'bout me

I feel bad for Flo honestly, she's been classy and avoided stirring or commenting on the drama. She's amazing and so talented and I hope that all this drama doesn't ruin her reputation.

@clarerichardson8770

I genuinely think she will come out of this smelling like roses and be juuuust fine. She's handling it with a lot of skill and grace.

@FrancisFabricates

@@clarerichardson8770 the fact that she has taken photos of herself drinking a cocktail and not going to the press stuff. Then wearing a truly amazing look with the photo caption of it that says ‘Ms Flo’ and it’s ridiculously amazing.

I’m honestly more disappointed than anything. Disappointed that this movie that could have been great is probably going to suck, disappointed that Olivia Wilde is not a good person, disappointed that she seemingly threw away her feminist ideals to try to get a known abuser back in her movie, and disappointed in how Florence Pugh, an incredible actress who deserves so much more respect, is being treated.

@winter333

Agreed. Deep disappointment sums it up.

@curator_z

Honestly, though, Wilde has been "slipping" for a long time, it's just that everyone kinda ignored it until it got really bad

@winter333

@@curator_z I don’t think we ignored it, it just was never talked about in most circles so how was the average person supposed to know? Hindsight is 20/20. I know I’m not the only person who has more going on and rarely ever spends time reading celebrity gossip articles, nor am I following social media pages or magazine websites regarding celebrities lives and drama.
