Don't Think Twice It's Alright
Pascale Picard Band Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It ain′t no use to sit and wonder why, babe
It don't matter, anyhow
And it ain′t no use to sit and wonder why, babe
If you don't know by now
When your rooster crows at the breaks of dawn
Look out your window and I'll be gone
You′re the reason I am traveling on
Don′t think twice, it's all right.
It ain′t no use in turning on your light, babe
That light I never knowed
And it ain't no use in turning on your light, babe
I′m on the dark side of the road
Still I wish there was somethin' you would do or say
To try and make me change my mind and stay
We never did too much talking anyway
Don′t think twice, it's all right.
So It ain't no use in calling out my name, gal
Like you never did before
It ain′t no use in calling out my name, gal
I can′t hear you any more
I'm a-thinking and a-wond′rin' walking down the road
I once loved a woman, a child I′m told
I give her my heart but she wanted my soul
Don't think twice, it′s all right.
So long honey, babe
Where I'm bound, I can't tell
Goodbye is a too good a word, babe
So I′ll just say fare well
I ain′t saying you treated me unkind
You could have done better but I don't mind




You just kinda wasted my precious time
But don′t think twice, it's all right.
