The Valiants & Peter Layton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Though I may be blue, I'll manage somehow.
Love can't be explained, can't be controlled
One day it's warm, next day it's cold.
Don't pity me, 'cause I'm feeling blue
Don't be ashamed it might happen to you.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, love, kiss me
Don't worry 'bout me.
Sweet, sweet love will I want you to be
As happy as I when you love me
I'll never forget you, your sweet memory it's all over now
Don't worry bout me.
When one heart tells, one heart goodbye
One heart is free, one heart will cry
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh sweet, sweet baby, sweet baby, sweet.
It's all right don't worry 'bout me
Don't pity me, 'cause I'm feeling blue
Don't be ashamed it might happen to you.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, love, kiss me
One time then go love, I'll understand
Don't worry 'bout me.
Sweet, sweet love will I want you to be
As happy as I when you love me
I'll never forget you, your sweet memory it's all over now
Don't worry bout me.
When one heart tells, one heart goodbye
One heart is free, one heart will cry
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh sweet, sweet baby, sweet baby, sweet
It's all right don't worry 'bout me.
