Why must I worry?
Try not to hurry like other people
Why must I hurry?
'Cause you know yourself
That is not the way

Who am I, to tell you lies
Then say, "I didn't mean it at all"
See me, hear me
But you don't know what I'm sayin'
You feel it, take it
In your stride

Why must I worry?
Try not to hurry like other people
Why must I hurry?
'Cause you know yourself
That is not the way

When you call me
Talk about the yesterdays
Cheers me, steers me
Follow better reason
To feel it, an' take it
In our stride

Why must I worry?
An' 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 hurry?
'Cause you know yourself
That is not my way

Why must I worry?
Try not to hurry
(Try not to)
It is not the way

Why worry? Why worry?
Try not to hurry
Why must I worry?
(Why must I worry)
It is not the way
