Lyrics

Don't worry 'bout me

I'll get along

Forget about me

Just be happy my love

Let's say that our little show is over

And so the story ends

Why not call it a day the sensible way

And still be friends

Look out for yourself

That should be the rule

Give your heart and your love

To whomever you love

Darlin' don't be a fool

Why do we cling to this old faded thing

That used to be

So if you can forget

Then don't worry 'bout me

Why should we cling to some old faded thing

That used to be

So if you can forget

Then you don't worry 'bout me
