Lyrics

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

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)
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)

Makes me cry for those days. Life is short folks. Live every day!

[softwarephil]

A time when America was proud, strong, and optimistic.

[arthouston]

We really did have the best childhood imaginable.

[lizstromsnesdolz]

i get chills, wish we could go back
the beach, surfing, the music, slow dancing

[lizstromsnesdolz]

ILOVED THE 60'S, best time to be alive

[larryjean]

We are the Generation who remember what fun, great music and real freedom is.

[billwebb]

Late 50’s, the 60’s, and the early 70’s were in my opinion the golden age of rock music!

[sammie]

Most wonderful time to be a teenager. Such great music & great times. Makes me want to cry.😢

Nobody, NOBODY could do vocal harmonies like these boys, the BEACH BOYS .Been listening to them for over 60 years now . My first album was Beach Boys Today. Still have it .

[duffysullivan]

I was there! Didn't realize how good it was. Took it all for granted.

[mikaham]

What a great time in human history. Great music, great engineering, great hope for the future.

[Tbone]

A simpler time, good music, & beautiful cars.

[mickb]

Oh the memories of the days when this song was my favourite Beach Boys track (still is my favourite Beach Boys track) . I miss those days 😒😔

[victorjeffers]

I don't care what anyone says those cars of that era are way more beautiful than what we have today ! Just look at them decked out in chrome ! No fancy computer chips telling the car how to run ! Cars made of steal not plastic ! I was born in 63 love those old cars !

[toniwalker]

ABSOLUTELY my favorite Beach Boy songs of all times. Was a just kid maybe 12 when I first heard this song…I will be turning 70 in Feb.. What a great time for me in those days. Not a care in the world, you felt safe, left doors unlocked and did not have to go home until the street lights came on. Beautiful memories of my older sibling who have passed on and gave me my first “listen” to this great music. Live your life to the fullest!

[ms.sonshine]

Miss that era and the loved ones gone. My beautiful California is gone, too. We had great music and times.

[josephschuster]

Truly a golden era in which to grow up.
I’m thrilled I was able to experience it, firsthand. 🎉

[chrislj]

Just imagine a sunny day sitting in a convertible with Reese Witherspoon listening to the Beach Boys. Sounds like absolute heaven to me.

[JanRoberts-ulbb]

Nothing like listening to the Beach Boys!!!

[Sue-thoi]

I have always cried to this one it gets to me every time…my favorite of all time! Thank you Brian! ❤
