[Chorus:] Why must I worry Try not to hurry like other people Why must I worry 'Cause you know yourself That is not the way Who am I to tell you lies And then say I didn't mean it at all You see me, you hear me But you don't know what I'm saying You feel it, you take it In your stride Why must I worry Try not to hurry like other people Why must I worry 'Cause you know yourself That is not the way When you call me And talk about the yesterdays It cheers me, it steers me To follow better reason To feel it, to take it in our stride [Chorus] Why must I worry Try not to hurry like other people Why must I worry 'Cause you know yourself That is not the way Why worry, why worry Try not to hurry, try not to hurry Why must I worry 'Cause you know yourself That is not my way
