Don't Think Twice, It's All Right
Farewell Reflections: Embracing Change and Moving On
Lyrics
Ain't no use to sit and wonder why babe
Acknowledging that dwelling on the reasons for separation is pointless
If you don't know by now
Implying that the reasons for the separation should be evident by now
Ain't no use to sit and wonder why babe
Reiterating the futility of pondering the reasons for the breakup
It'll never do somehow
Expressing that dwelling on the past won't change anything
When your rooster crows at the break of dawn
Describing the morning when the singer departs
Look out your window babe and I'll be gone
Indicating a swift departure, leaving without a trace
You're the reason I keep travelin' on
Stating that the listener is the motivation for the ongoing journey
But don't think twice it's all right
Encouraging not to dwell on the separation, suggesting it's for the best
Ain't no use in turning on your light babe
Advising against seeking understanding through illumination
That light I've never known
Highlighting a lack of familiarity with the mentioned light
Ain't no use in turning on your light babe
Reiterating the darkness of the singer's path
I'm on the dark side of the road
Expressing a desire for intervention to change the singer's mind
Wishin' there was something you could do or say
Wishing for actions or words to influence the singer's decision
To try and make me change my mind and stay
Recognizing a lack of effective communication in the relationship
But we never did too much talkin' anyway
Acknowledging a history of limited conversation in the relationship
But don't think twice it's all right
Reiterating the advice not to dwell on the separation
Ain't no use in callin' out my name now
Stating that calling the singer's name is futile
Like you never done before
Emphasizing the uselessness of repeated attempts to call the singer
Ain't no use in callin' out my name gal
Affirming the inability to hear the caller anymore
I can't hear you anymore
Reflecting on thoughts while walking down the road
Walkin' and a thinkin'
Recalling a past love and potential parenthood
Goin' down this road
Conveying a sense of betrayal in the relationship
I once loved a woman
Expressing a deep emotional investment in the relationship
A child I'm told
Describing a previous lover as a child
I gave her my heart but she wanted my soul
Highlighting a conflict between emotional and material desires
But don't think twice it's all right
Reiterating the advice not to dwell on the separation
So long honey baby
Bidding farewell to the significant other
Where I'm bound I can't tell
Expressing uncertainty about the destination or future
Goodbye is just too good a word babe
Contemplating that the word "goodbye" is too final
I'll just say fare thee well
Choosing a less definitive farewell
I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind
Acknowledging that the listener was not unkind
You could have done much better babe
Recognizing that improvements could have been made in the relationship
But I don't mind
Expressing a lack of resentment despite wasted time
You just wasted some of my precious time
Acknowledging that time was spent in the relationship
But don't think twice it's all right
Reiterating the advice not to dwell on the separation
Don't think twice it's all right
Finalizing the message with a repetition of the advice not to dwell on the separation
