A full-band demo of this song was included on the second disc of the 2012 deluxe edition reissue of Twice Removed. Interestingly, the final chorus of that version has alternate lyrics which include the phrase “pick it up and dial it”, later used the for the name of a song on Sloan’s 2001 album Prett...
[Verse 1]
I think I've lost my sense of humour
'Cause I can't seem to get a laugh
I keep forgetting all the punch lines
And I can't make them up that fast
[Chorus 1]
Remember the time when you told me not to worry?
I'm worried now
Remember the time when you told me not to worry?
I'm worried now
[Verse 2]
I think I'm losing all my patience
And I know I'm too quick to judge
I don't give up all that easily, usually
But I'm too relieved to hold a grudge
[Chorus 1]
Remember the time when you told me not to worry?
I'm worried now
Remember the time when you told me not to worry?
I'm worried now
[Bridge]
You told me not to care
You told me not to care
So I don't care
[Chorus 2]
Any time that you told me
Told me not to worry, I'm worried now
And any time that you told me
Told me not to worry, I'm worried now, worried now
Remember the time when you told me not to worry?
I'm worried now
And any time that you told me
Told me not to worry
I'm worried now
