I couldn’t resist posting my earlier song on Jim Adams’ Song Lyric Sunday, although the significance is probably lost if you’re not in the UK (or maybe even if you are, CC 😃). I might be tempted to say how lucky you are, but somehow, I’m not so sure… But please, if you’re all music’d out for today, just skip this post, it’s not important.

One band I have always liked is the Beach Boys, I just associate them with optimism, surf, summer, sunshine…all good aspects of life. So I thought it would be nice to post something of theirs to chillax to on a Sunday evening – this is very different to my song earlier. This track was written in 1964, and in common with many Beach Boys songs, was a collaboration between Brian Wilson and Roger Christian. On this particular track, there were even more collaborators, who I’ve listed below. Wilson is quoted as saying that he wrote this song based on his favourite song, Be My Baby, by the Ronnettes. So whilst earlier I posted a do, here is a don’t:

Well it’s been building up inside of me
For oh I don’t know how long
I don’t know why
But I keep thinking
Something’s bound to go wrong

But she looks in my eyes
And makes me realize
And she says “don’t worry, baby”
Don’t worry, baby
Don’t worry, baby
Everything will turn out alright

Don’t worry, baby
Don’t worry, baby
Don’t worry, baby

I guess I should’ve kept my mouth shut
When I started to brag about my car
But I can’t back down now because
I pushed the other guys too far

She makes me come alive
And makes me wanna drive
When she says “don’t worry, baby”
Don’t worry, baby
Don’t worry, baby
Everything will turn out alright

Don’t worry, baby
Don’t worry, baby
Don’t worry, baby

She told me “Baby, when you race today
Just take along my love with you
And if you knew how much I loved you
Baby, nothing could go wrong with you”

Oh what she does to me
When she makes love to me
And she says “don’t worry, baby”
Don’t worry, baby
Don’t worry, baby
Everything will turn out alright

Don’t worry, baby
Don’t worry, baby
Don’t worry, baby
