Don't Think Twice, It's All Right
Navigating Love's Departure: A Reflection on Glen Campbell's 'Don't Think Twice, It's All Right'
Lyrics
It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
It's pointless to ponder the reasons, my dear.
It don't matter, anyhow
It doesn't matter at all.
And it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
There's no benefit in sitting and wondering, my dear,
If you don't know by now
If you haven't figured it out by now.
When your rooster crows at the breaks of dawn
When your rooster crows at the breaks of dawn,
Look out your window and I'll be gone
Look out your window, and I'll be gone.
You're the reason I'm traveling on
You're the reason I'm moving forward,
Don't think twice, it's all right.
Don't dwell on it; everything will be fine.
It ain't no use in turning on your light, babe
No point in turning on your light, my dear,
That light I never knowed
That light I never knew.
And it ain't no use in turning on your light, babe
No use turning on your light, my dear,
I'm on the dark side of the road
I'm on the dark side of the road.
But I wish there was somethin' you would do or say
But I wish there was something you could do or say,
To try and make me change my mind and stay
To make me change my mind and stay.
We never did too much talking anyway
We never engaged in much conversation anyway,
So don't think twice, it's all right
So don't dwell on it; everything will be fine.
It ain't no use in calling out my name, gal
No use in calling out my name, girl,
Like you never done before
Like you've never done before.
It ain't no use in calling out my name, gal
No use in calling out my name, girl,
I can't hear you any more
I can't hear you anymore.
I'm a-thinking and a-wond'rin' walking down the road
I'm contemplating and wondering, walking down the road,
I once loved a woman, a child I'm told
I once loved a woman, a child I'm told.
I give her my heart but she wanted my soul
I gave her my heart, but she wanted my soul,
Don't think twice, it's all right
Don't dwell on it; everything will be fine.
So long honey, babe
So long, honey, babe,
Where I'm bound, I can't tell
Where I'm headed, I can't tell.
Goodbye's too good a word, babe
Goodbye is too strong a word, babe,
So I'll just say fare thee well
So I'll just say farewell.
I ain't saying you treated me unkind
I'm not saying you treated me unkind,
You could have done better but I don't mind
You could have done better, but I don't mind.
You just kinda wasted my precious time
You just kind of wasted my precious time,
But don't think twice, it's all right
Don't dwell on it; everything will be fine.
