Worried Life Blues
Embracing Tomorrow: Freddie King's Resilient Anthem
Lyrics
I don't care, alone you go
I am indifferent; you can go on your own.
I don't care, alone you stay
It doesn't matter to me; you can remain alone.
But good kind of treatment
Despite this, I promise to provide you with good treatment.
I'm bringing you home someday
I will bring you back home at some point in the future.
Well, someday, baby
Someday, my dear, you won't be a source of worry in my life.
You ain't gonna worry my life anymore
Reiterating the assurance that the person will no longer be a concern in the speaker's life.
Now you keep on bendin'
Continuing to persist or endure despite unfavorable circumstances.
If the dice don't pay
If luck is not on your side when gambling, you must face the consequences.
Can't you see, little girl
Advising the listener that they are living too quickly or recklessly.
You're living too fast?
Suggesting that a change in behavior is needed for a better life.
But someday, baby
Reassuring the listener that they won't be a source of worry in the speaker's life eventually.
You ain't gonna worry my life anymore
Reiterating the assurance that the person will no longer be a concern in the speaker's life.
Are you tellin' everybody
Asking if the listener is spreading negative information about the speaker in the local area.
In the neighborhood
Implying that the listener is not genuine in their feelings and actions.
'Cause you don't love me, baby
Expressing the idea that the listener doesn't truly love the speaker and has ill intentions.
You didn't mean me no good
Suggesting that the listener has caused harm or intended harm.
Yes, but someday, baby
Reassuring the listener that they won't be a source of worry in the speaker's life eventually.
You ain't gonna worry my life anymore
Emphasizing the certainty that the person will no longer be a concern in the speaker's life.
Alright!
An exclamation, possibly indicating agreement or affirmation.
