Opus 17 (Don’t You Worry ’Bout Me)

[Verse 1]
Oh, I can see
There ain't no room for me
You're only holding out
Your heart in sympathy
If there's another man
Then girl, I understand
Go on and take his hand
And don't you worry 'bout me

[Verse 2]
I'll be blue (Baby blue)
And I'll be crying, too
(Crying, too, crying, too)
But girl, you know I only want
What's best for you
What good is all my pride
If our true love has died?
Go on and be his bride
And don't you worry 'bout me

[Verse 3]
I'll be strong
I'll try to carry on
Although you know it won't be easy
When you're gone
I'll always think of you
The tender love we knew
But somehow, I'll get through
So don't you worry 'bout me
Ooh, baby

[Interlude]
(Baby blue)
(Crying, too, crying, too)
(Baby, worry 'bout me)

[Verse 4]
Sweetie pie
Before you say goodbye
Remember if he ever
Leaves you high and dry
Don't cry alone in pain
Don't ever feel ashamed
If you want me again
Just don't you worry 'bout me

[Verse 5]
I love you (Loving you)
No matter what you do
(Loving you, loving you)
I'll spend my whole life waiting
If you want me to
And if this is goodbye
You know I'd rather die
Than let you see me cry
'Cause then you'd worry 'bout me

[Verse 6]
I'll be strong
I'll try to carry on
Although you know it won't be easy
When you're gone
I'll always think of you
The tender love we knew
But somehow, I'll get through
So don't you worry 'bout me

[Verse 7]
I'll be strong
I'll try to carry on
Although you know it won't be easy
When you're gone
I'll always think of you
The tender love we knew
But somehow, I'll get through
So don't you worry 'bout me

[Outro]
Oh, I’ll be strong (I’ll be strong)
(I’ll try to carry on)
Although you know it won’t be easy
When you’re gone...
