Lyrics
Don’t worry about me it’s all over now
Though I may be blue I’ll manage some how
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 have been you
Oh oh oh oh love kiss me one time then go love
I’ll understand don’t worry about me
Sweet sweet sweet love I want you to be
As happy as I when you loved me
I’ll never forget you your sweet memory
It’s all over now don’t worry about me
When one heart tells one heart one heart good-bye
One heart is free one heart will cry
Oh oh oh oh sweet sweet baby sweet baby sweet
It’s alright don’t worry about me
