Don't Think Twice It's All Right
the wonder who Lyrics

Well, it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
Sitting and wondering why things happened will not change them now, dear.

If'n you don't know by now
If you don't know the answer, there's no point in pondering over it.

And it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
Thinking about why this happened won't make a difference, dear.

It'll never do somehow
It just won't change anything; it's not worth the pain.

When your rooster crows at the break of dawn
When the rooster crows and you wake up early in the morning.

Look out your window and I'll be gone
When you look outside your window, I won't be there anymore.

You're the reason I'm a-travellin' on
I am leaving because of you.

But don't think twice, it's all right
But please don't fret over it—it's for the best.

And it ain't no use in a-turnin' on your light, babe
There's no point in turning on your light since I don't need to find anything.

The light I never knowed
I've never needed or used the light before.

And it ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe
I won't need the light because I'm already on the dark side of the road.

I'm on the dark side of the road
I'm in a place where I am lost and confused.

But I wish there was something you would do or say
I hope there's something you can say or do to stop me.

To try and make me want to change my mind and stay
To persuade me to stay.

But we never did much talkin' anyway
But we never communicated much.

So it ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal
Calling my name won't do any good, lady.

Like you never done before
As if you never have called my name before.

I can't hear you anymore
I can't hear you because I've already distanced myself.

I'm a-thinkin' and a-wonderin', walkin' down the road
I'm thinking and pondering as I walk.

I once loved a woman, a child I'm told
I used to love a woman, possibly a younger one.

I give her my heart but she wanted my soul
I loved her deeply, but she wanted something more.

So long, honey baby
Goodbye, dear.

Where I'm bound I can't tell
I don't know where I'm going.

And goodbye's too good a word, babe
Saying goodbye is too kind in a situation like this.

So I'll just say "fare thee well"
So, instead, I'll say "take care."

I ain't a-sayin' you treated me unkind
I'm not trying to say that you've been mean to me.

You could've done better, but I don't mind
You could have done things differently, but I'm not upset.

You just kind of wasted my precious time
You simply wasted my precious time, but that's okay.

But don't think twice, it's all right
Please don't stress about it—it's all okay.
