The Worryin' Kind
Tommy Sands Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well, I got me a baby
With a pair of rolling eyes
But since I found her
I'm the worrying kind

When she's out on a date
She's always flirting with the guys
Makes me so jealous

I'm the worrying kind

Now if you ever see my baby
See, I know you'll understand
Just why I say that
I'm the worrying kind

All the guys are all around her
Can't you see she's in demand
I guess you see why
I'm the worrying kind

I date her once, twice
And then I get to thinking
She's nice and then
We get to kissing

Mmm gee, just think
What I been missing
Now that I found her
Going out of my mind

I worry bout my baby knowing
She's been running round
Don't want to show her
I'm the worrying kind

I want to find a way, a way that
I can finally tame her down
Then I'll no longer be
The worrying kind

I date her once, twice
And then I get to thinking
She's nice and then
We get to kissing

Mmm gee, just think
What I been missing
Now that I found her
Going out of my mind

I worry bout my baby knowing
She's been running round
Don't want to show her
I'm the worrying kind

I want to find a way, a way that
I can finally tame her down
Then I'll no longer be
The worrying kind

Then I'll no longer be
The worrying kind

Then I'll no longer be
The worrying kind...
