Don
The Dells Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't worry 'bout me
It's all over now
Though I'll miss you
I'll manage somehow

Love, love, sweet love
Just look at what you've done
You broke my heart
And threw it away

Don't worry 'bout me
I'll get along somehow
You walked away
New horizons to find

Love, love, sweet love
Can't be controlled
Who cares that your soul
Leaves you cold

Don't worry 'bout me
I'll get along somehow
You walked away
New horizons to find

Love, love, sweet love
Just look what you've done




You broke may heart
And threw it away

I'm not a Storyteller, but the Dells, are the greatest group of all time bar none. And Marvin Junior, the best lead singer ever.
