Worry
Robert Cray Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Say it doesn't bother me
But every night she is out, walking' the streets
And I worry
She can lead her live the way that she wants
It is not for me to say, but I worry
It is not for me to say, but I worry
Worry, Worry,
About the world that she lives in
Worry, Worry,
That I could lose her in the end
I keep thinking, she's okay
But it's driving me crazy
It is not save to be out on the streets
And I worry
She could be lost, the danger is there
There's trouble, trouble everywhere
Trouble, trouble everywhere
Worry, Worry,
About the world that she lives in
Worry, Worry,
That I could lose her in the end
She is not a lover
She is just a friend
I can't ignore it or I just pretend
I can't think of myself and
She's all alone with no one waiting, for her to come home
She's just a child in every father's eyes
Just can't help it, but I worry
I can't help it, that I worry
Worry, Worry,
About the world that she lives in
Worry, Worry,
That I could lose her in the end
Worry, yeah
I worry
Worry, worry
I worry
Worry
I worry
The lyrics to Robert Cray Band's song Worry convey the singer's growing concern for his friend who he believes is in danger due to her lifestyle.

The singer is unable to shake off the constant worry that he feels for her and the possibility of losing her.
The song's lyrics highlight the themes of friendship, concern, and vulnerability. The singer's concern for his friend is evident in his repetitive use of the word "worry" throughout the song. He recognizes that his friend is not just a lover but a friend whom he cannot ignore, and who needs someone waiting for her to come home. The song's lyrics suggest the singer's feeling of helplessness and his reluctance to interfere with his friend's choices.
