Don't Worry 'bout Me
Michael Bublé & Frank Sinatra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't worry 'bout me
I'll get along
Just you forget about me
Be happy my love

Just say that our little show is over
And so the story ends
Why not call it a day in a sensible way
And we'll remain friends

Look out, look out for yourself
Should be the rule
You just give your heart and your love
To whomever you love
Don't you be a fool

Baby why stop and cling to some fading thing
That used to be
So if you can forget
Don't you worry 'bout me

Baby why stop and cling to some losing thing
That used to be




Well, if you can forget
Don't you worry 'bout me
