Don't You Worry Child
NEW! Lyrics

Turn me up yo
Increase the volume of the music

That's right
Affirmative statement

New Edition
The name of the music group

(You don't have to worry)
Reassurance to the listener

I know that things ain't right
Acknowledgement that something is wrong in the relationship

Seems like all we do is fight
Frequent conflicts and disagreement in the relationship

And it's been on my mind
The issue has been preoccupying the singer's thoughts

You don't have to worry
Reassurance to the listener

I'm gonna make it right
Promise to correct the issue

I'll be on your side
Support and loyalty to the listener

No more lonely nights
Promise to be there for the listener

You don't have to worry
Reassurance to the listener

Bobby Lady, I know I've been acting strange
Admission of strange behavior by Bobby to his Lady

It seems to me you're tired of playing games
His Lady is fed up with games in the relationship

I've been around
Admission of seeing other girls

Had girls here and there
Admission of having multiple girls

I did you wrong, but I'll give my life to make it right
Admission of wrongdoing and willingness to make amends

What must I do to make it up to you?
Request for guidance on how to correct his mistake

What can I say, to make you see things my way?
How to make her understand his perspective

I know it's hard for you to understand
Acknowledgment that it's difficult for her to understand

Don't be afraid
Reassurance to not be afraid

I'll be there whenever you need me
Promise to be there when needed

I'll be there trust in me
Asking for trust

Just call on me
Invitation to ask for help

I won't let you down oh
Promise to not disappoint

NE expertise please
Reference to the group New Edition

Here to put the squeeze on the industry fleas
Ambitious to succeed in the music industry

Getting cheese, peep these, butter slurs, his & hers
Admission of enjoying the fruits of their labor

Chinchilla furs, check the goodfella words
Reference to luxurious lifestyle

Cause I get in ya like Murry
Confident in his abilities

And boo, it's only a tight flurry
Implying no need to worry

You're frontin' cattin', you want to rumble in the satin
Implying that his Lady is being playful but wants intimacy

In a bad ass suite somewhere in lower Manhattan
Imagery of the scene

I'm from the street too but I gotta eat to
Admission of being from the street and having to make a living

Won't hesitate to eat you, other than that glad to meet you
Playful line, implying willingness to compete and enjoy each other's company

I spend nights in the ramada my honey's stay laced in Escada
Reference to luxurious lifestyle

Chickens is mad that I got her
Imagery of jealous girls

Casino style gambiono types smile, kiss you before I twist you
Playful line implying skill in gambling and seduction

All the wax is official
All is well and as it should be

Players' on the set gettin' wet sippin' Perrier Jouet
Imagery of players enjoying their lifestyle

So you don't even have to worry, yet
Reassurance to the listener, implying there's nothing to worry about yet
