Don't Worry Baby
Jimenez Flaco Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Starin' out at the night
You've got so many troubles
On your nervous mind
But don't worry baby
It's gonna work out fine
You hear the sound of footsteps
You picked up the receiver
You didn't know what for
Then you saw the shadow
Steppin' through the door
Well don't worry baby
What the world may bring
Well don't worry baby
It won't change a thing
Life is a fly
And then you die
Standin' near by the window
Starin' out at the night
You see your lover leanin'
Against the old street light
But don't worry baby
It's gonna be alright
He was tossin' and turnin'
And he couldn't sleep
It ain't sure to bother
And it was just a dream
So where was he goin'
Headin' down the street
Well don't worry baby
What the world may bring
Well don't worry baby
It won't change a thing
Life is a fly
And then you die

Standin' there by the window
You're standing next to the window
Starin' out at the night
Looking at the dark sky
You've got so many troubles
You are facing a lot of problems
On your nervous mind
Your mind is anxious and worried
But don't worry baby
Don't stress too much
It's gonna work out fine
Everything will eventually sort out
You hear the sound of footsteps
You can hear someone walking
Stealing 'cross the floor
Walking silently across the floor
You picked up the receiver
You answered the phone
You didn't know what for
You didn't know why you answered the phone
Then you saw the shadow
You noticed someone's shadow
Steppin' through the door
Coming inside the room
Well don't worry baby
Relax, don't stress
What the world may bring
Whatever challenges life may present
It won't change a thing
Things will be the same regardless
Life is a fly
Life passes by quickly
And then you die
And then life ends
Standin' near by the window
Still standing near the window
Starin' out at the night
Continuing to look at the dark sky
You see your lover leanin'
You notice your partner leaning somewhere
Against the old street light
Against an old street lamp
But don't worry baby
Everything will be fine
It's gonna be alright
Everything will end up okay
He was tossin' and turnin'
Your partner was struggling to sleep
And he couldn't sleep
Your partner couldn't fall asleep
It ain't sure to bother
It probably won't be a problem
And it was just a dream
The issue was only a bad dream
So where was he goin'
Where was he wandering off to?
Headin' down the street
Walking down the street
