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)
Everything will turn out alright

(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)
